Between Christmas and New Year, I picked up a travel bug which had Norway as one of it's preferred destinations so I took it with me and am now trying to set it out.
The first time I went skiing on the illuminated track since it was already dark and unfortunately couldn't find the cache although I must have been close to it.
The second time I tried to ski in the backcountry on a hiking trail and didn't come very far - snowshoes would have been better because the top of the snow cover was frozen and the ground rather uneven - oh well at least I didn't meet any people and that was the main goal :)
Looks like fluffy nice snow but it is more like cement ;)
That's the so called Swedish wall - normally out of rocks.
The sky looked very nice unfortunately I didn't really get a good spot completely without trees.
And a blurred moon ... looked much better of course
Hey! I've seen the swedish wall. I think I even found a cache related to it. In summer of course. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes there is a cache :) Very close to where I took the picture but under heaps of snow.
ReplyDeleteI'vedefinitely been to the Swedish wall in summer! Caching in Nordmarka in Winter is a special kind of challenge, you're so lucky.
ReplyDeleteNice to see I transferred the bug to you :-) Have you been to Olsen Special yet? It's along Akerselva, which is nice for a caching trip because there are so many caches along the path by the river - you can easily do more than 20 cacehs in a day fust following the water.
Yes, I've done the trip along Akerselva but Olsen Special was nowhere to be found :(. Several people who had been to the cache before stated that it must be missing because it was not on the spot where they remembered it should be. So I may try again before I leave.
