A nice quick walk from Ulsteinvik. The location was in a section of moorland just north of the main road from Ulsteinvik to Hareid. AshleyMorton got there earlier than he'd expected (about 15:00), so ended up sitting on a rock for an hour, reading the Economist. Dedicated to the principles of geohashing, but not really expecting to find anyone else at the site, he brought a deck of cards, and played solitaire. Lost both times. Damn.

  • The morning dawned humid and overcast.

  • Supplies were purchased.

  • Nice little creek that the initial path passed by.

  • Up the hill...

  • Then the path looked like it was getting a little more rustic.

  • Until I realised that there was a light fixture on the side of the path - turns out this path is a lit trail for wintertime cross-country skiing. Huh.

  • Now we're off trail for the last 400m or so. The little creek doesn't look like much, until I realise that there's one every 6 feet. This place was not so great the day after a rainfall!

  • Okay, made it! This looks Northwest.

  • North.

  • Northeast.

  • East.

  • Down.

  • Oops, lost the plot there - Uh... South-ish.

  • Played Solitaire - lost.

  • Same thing. That's the map of my island.

  • You can tell how close I am to the road. What you can't tell is how wet my feet are.

  • I'm pretty sure this qualifies as "stupidly grinning" - That's me. (AshleyMorton)

  • So does this, but this time I'm wearing a Norwegian sweater.
