Location

Prinsdal, a south-eastern suburb of Oslo.

Participants

Plans

Because it's Saturday, we'll be there at 4:00 p.m.

Expedition

Blóðøx

Not much to tell, really. First a 15 minute train ride from downtown Oslo, and then an easy walk for about a kilometer through a residential neighborhood and a small wooden area. The expedition was surprisingly uneventful.

No fellow geohashers could be seen at the hashpoint (but I'll have to admit that we were 20 minutes late for the planned 4pm meetup). Snoken and I had an ale or two at the hashpoint, discussed προσωκρατικοί φιλόσοφοι (Pre-Socratic philosophy) for a while, and then walked back to the train station (with a short pit stop at a kebab stall).

We should strongly consider riding to a hashpoint in the future.

We're there!

Japanese standoff

Snoken and Blóðøx. Neither geohasher wanted to yield, and the Japanese standoff lasted for minutes…
