...And with it comes some sweaty, but awesome forest geocaching!I got sick of seeing a "404" on geocache finds, I mean, it's like being stuck in error mode (Bad joke thursday, Ba Dum TSS!). So a trip was planned together with Ellinormor and out we went.
We bled, we fell, we slipped, we got our feet stuck in swamps... You know, like it's supposed to be.
We had planned to take a series of 13 caches called "Tur i Skogen" (Walk in the forest), but after four hours in the blazing heat (Norway decided to skip spring and go from freezing winter to summer-hell. Yeah... I'm not a fan of super warm weather...) we had gotten a hold of 11 caches, one not being part of the series, but more of a... "Oh look what I stumbled across"-type of thing. We agreed that it was enough for the day and started finding our way back.
Oh, and for the first time of my geocaching-in-Norway history we arrived to the area by car! Okey, so to me it's a big deal, so let me have this one. I always take public transport, having to plan my trips carefully, memorize bus and subway switches and... Let's face it, it wrecks the fun a bit.
One of the awesome things with this walk was that ALL caches were regular sized, something you don't see too often, at least not here in Oslo... Or in Stockholm... And yes, my face goes bright red at the smallest hint of exercising, but I'll give you this one. Look, a cache!
Oh, while stumbling along one of the few paths we managed to find we bumped into this rebel of a tree which had ibvously gotten sick of the tree-type conformity and decided to grow horizontally instead.
(This is also the first full body picture of me taken in years. Just sayin'.)
So! If you find yourselves in Oslo, Norway and want to get out of the city centre, then this is a great place to visit.
A newly broke geocacher usually has a good GPS.
