[[User: Earlyturtle|Earlyturtle]] tried to hitch south along In Finland mosquitoes are a considerable problem in the E8 from Tromsø summer (breeding season is June-July), and especially in July 2014Lapland. One lift from Kilpis to 50km north of Muonio with Reliable insect repellent or a Norwegian but few cars came past afternet hat/clothing is highly recommended, and no lifts south. Gave up 12 hours later (from especially given the long waiting times in the combination of mosquitoes, heat and no supplies) and then got a lift back into Norwayregion.

There are many cars on the E75/A4 though, which is the closest you can get to a main road in Finland and which starts from Helsinki and goes all the way to the northern border of Finnland. The E75/A4 goes through many cities and is therefore good for hitchhiking. It is even possible to get from Helsinki to Rovaniemi (which is the capital of Lapland) in a day. To be on the safe side, it is best to count with a day and a half though.
