Blóðøx plans to take the bus to the Maridalen vally just north of Oslo, then walk for about 2.5 km.
Expedition
Blóðøx
I took the bus to the Maridalen valley, around 30 minutes from downtown Oslo. A few minutes later, Snoken arrived on his motorbike. We walked for about 25 minutes along a small backroad, until we were ~400 meters from the hashpoint.
The last 400 meters were tricky. The forest turned out to be way more dense than I had anticipated, and the terrain was also quite marshy. Snoken led the way over some small rivers and up a steep slope. At the top, we waled for some hundred meters to the north, and then found out that we needed to go downhill again. The forest floor was very wet and slippery, and I was slightly afraid at times to fall and break a leg or a wrist. However, we survived, and the hashpoint was eventually reached.
At the hashpoint, I had a can of Carlsberg (Danish beer). After 30 minutes of deserved rest, we started walking back. We decided to take an alternative route back because of the steep terrain. However, the alternative route turned out to be through a marsh, and it wasn't really any more convenient than the rocky route.
Back at the main road, I found out that I just missed my bus, and I had to wait for 55 minutes in the middle of nowhere before I could get home. :-(
