Challenge trip One.

Alright, so yesterday I was planning on starting soft, just two caches close to where I go to class on tuesdays. Yeah, that didn't work out.
Instead I ended up with nine finds, one DNF and, even if it has nothing to do with caching, delicious sushi for dinner afterwards.
Autumn has truly hit Oslo, so windy, wet and cold was the weather keeping me company that day.

I did a lot of backtracks and unnecessary turns, but without a map that stuff happens. It just got me more excerscise, which is great for the point I'm trying to make by doing this.
So, let me throw some numbers to you:

Total walking distance (from the second I started towards the first cache, until last find): 7.5km.

Number of steps taken according to stepcounter: 8663.
Number of finds: 9.
Number of DNF's: 1.
Ascent: 332m.
Descent: 152m.
Total time: 2 hours, 21 minutes, 45 seconds.

Something's gone wrong with my GPS, though, a lot of caches I know I put in has gone missing and everytime I tried viewing a cache description or hint it shut down on me completely.
Safe to say I won't be caching until I figure out what's wrong and how to fix it, but with seven more caches than planned, I'm ahead of schedule, so YAY!

Geocaching - Makes you realize you really need to buy a raincoat.

Who dares to dare me?

Just a short notice on what will be going on for the next two weeks;
My shrink told me today that I have to stop hating sports and start working out. I, of course, told her that Geocaching can totally be counted as a "sport" and the walks between them is excerscise-ish.
She wanted me to prove it and dared me to find 20 caches until next meeting.
Naturally I have decided to not only get twenty, but pass it as much as I can. I am 22 finds away from my 500th, so that is an obvious goal as well.
In short; for the next two weeks I will be fighting the norwegian autumn, no matter how wet or cold, for geocaching. Just to prove a point.
Awesome.

Challenge Accepted!

Geocaching - Because I can.
