Expedition

I don't know if I will get far, but here we go, Trusty and me. -- relet @60.1485,10.2685 10:47, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

With the fruit trees and the church bells ringing, I feel like in my grandma's village. -- relet @60.1485,10.2685 10:58, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

Until here, this was all just a detour, to avoid the highway bridge, which is closed for cyclists. -- relet @60.1485,10.2685 11:16, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

I could cycle alongside fjords all day long. In fact, that's what I am going to do. Yay! -- relet @60.1485,10.2685 11:30, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

Reached Vikersund and started walking. The rule of the game today is obviously to keep dry shoes. And don't talk about geohashing! -- relet @59.9506,10.0151 13:59, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

Coordinates reached. No reception at hashpoint. Lost and found my camera. Broke both rules. Ducking tired. Time to think about the return trip. -- relet @59.9371,10.0369 16:30, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

As usual, the return path is so much less complicated. And this canyon is amazing. -- relet @59.9415,10.0078 17:04, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

According to recent statistics, there are only slightly fewer trees than elk droppings. -- relet @59.9415,10.0078 17:09, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

I made it home, apparently. -- relet 20:07, 25 April 2010 (MESZ)

Everyone should have a fjord. Even Africa! The weather is a bit rainy though.
Reached Vikersund. They have boats.
This could be a scenic holiday location, if it wasn't situated next to the main bridge.
There is an old "church road" apparently.
The track I chose up the mountain changed from "patches of snow" to this.
I was following someone's footsteps most of the time. At least I knew where I would be about to break in.
And then, a road!
They're taunting me! Or is tempting the right word? @59.9000,9.9098
It didn't even look very locked.
I has a view.
And some maps] on my android. If only the skidoo drivers would stick to the unmarked paths hidden under the snow.
The ants were rather busy already.
According to my map, this is a lake/swamp.
The best snowshoes money can buy. Truuuuust me. (But frankly, the wide soles did not fare so bad.)
More antsy goodness.
A geohut! That was unexpected!
You can tell it wants to become a lake again.
Coordinates reached!
RMaps agrees.
Happy tired geohasher.
Not a good idea.
On the way back - a canyon.
I like this tree stump.
I has more view.
I came out pretty close to the old church.
More history.
More history.
