Sort of.
Left house at 13:00 to rollerblade to hash point. Went off the edge of my map at least half an hour before reaching the coordinates. Overshot the turnoff and ended up in the next town, Sørkedalen. Oops. Turned around and found the road I should have taken. It was dirt and gravel and full of potholes. Made my way along it anyway. Reached the road that wound along the field the hash point was in. It was gravel and overgrown with weeds. I didn't bring other footwear with me to cut down on things to carry, so rollerblading was out. There was also a good chance said field would have been surrounded with electric fencing like the rest of the fields in the area (lots of horses there). Decided I got close enough, struggled back down the dirt road and made my way back. Arrived home at 20:00.
Conclusion: Chimera needs a better map.
Photos
Got some nice photos despite the fact I failed to reach the proper coordinates. Will post them once I figure out how. I'm quite new to this whole wiki thing.
