Plans
I decided to take advantage of the long summer days (we don't have any midnight sun, but we still have the midnight not-so-dark nights) to tackle this one after work. As on some of the weekends, I had the car to my disposal. Given that the hash was merely some 15km away, and I always wanted to try the cycle paths towards Oslo, I decided to cycle instead. And so I grabbed my geohashing bag after work, had a quick look at the caches in the area (gosh! there are many!), then packed some extra maps for orienteering, and stopped myself before packing any more gear just to challenge the longness of the daylight. I left from home at about 5pm.
Expedition
- Plans: Cycle there.
Hmm. I just realize that I still haven't tried the new beta of the hashdroid. I'll have to do that tomorrow. -- relet @60.1564,10.2555 16:35, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)
- Beautiful cyclepaths so far. I am just standing under the highway, and it is totally quiet. -- relet @60.0640,10.2996 17:28, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)
- Cruising is useful, not only when you have the wind on fore, but also to get up the steeper hills. -- relet @60.0682,10.3315 17:51, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)
- I am on the royal road to Bergen. Or from Bergen, rather. Woo! -- relet @60.0309,10.3468 18:32, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)
- Now on foot. The valley is ringing from the sheep's bells. I just hope this path leads where I want it to. -- relet @60.0283,10.3611 18:46, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)
- The ground flollops under my feet. There must be a mattress vein. -- relet @60.0285,10.3648 18:50, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)
- Coordinates reached! -- relet @60.0259,10.3694 19:14, 28 Mai 2010 (GMT+02:00)

The toughest ones survive Easter.
A ski run is leading me.
Proof
Stupid grin
These ones marked the easy trail up
As (not) seen from the path - I circled the hill once.
Baa!
This one is actually a raptor in a sheepskin. Look at the cunning face.
Proof: They warn you of biting domestic animals.
I can see the whole way I came cycling.
One more, a little later, while orienteering.
