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.

On our way through the dense forest. The terrain was quite quaggy at this point.

Just before climbing down a slope.

Looking back up. Somewhat like the streets of San Francisco, pictures fail to show how steep it really was.

Note that it says "Accurate to 48 meters". The reported accuracy changed quickly, and varied between 10 and 48 meters while we were standing at the hashpoint.
