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.
