Ye Olde Pilot Station Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

Geocache Description:

Old pilot station and bronze statue

Dette stedet er en nedlagt losstasjon som ligger på en
høyde med utsikt over havet utenfor Tananger.

Lett rute: Gå vest fra Tananger sentrum langs hovedveien.
Ta av til til venstre mot høyden og sjøen, gå gjennom
boligfeltet. Eller kjør helt fram til stedets egen
parkering.

Krevende rute: Start fra Hummeren hotell i Tanangers indre
havn. Gå sørover til du ser skiltet med Losstasjon opp en
liten bakke til høyre. Bak skiltet mot sjøen er det mulig
å finne en rute til den gamle losstasjonen, selv om det
ikke ser slik ut. Vær godt skodd, og ikke ta noen sjanser.
ADVARSEL: La ikke barn plukke strandkvann. Plantesaften kan
spesielt i sollys gi alvorlige hudskader.

Maritimt museum på bildet under ligger på:
N58 55.977 E5 34.844
_________________________________________

This place is an abandoned old pilot station which is
located on a hilltop overlooking the sea.

Easy route: Walk west along the main road from Tananger
town center. Turn left towards the hill and the sea, walk
through the residential area. Or just drive all the way to
the nearby parking place.

Demanding route: Start from Hummeren hotel at Tananger
inner harbour. Walk south along the road close to the sea
until you see the sign Losstasjon on your right hand side.
Behind this sign towards the sea you can find a route to
the old pilot station, even if that seems very hard.
Don't take any chances, and wear shoes made for rough
terrain. WARNING: Don't let any children pick the plant
"strandkvann". (Angelica archangelica litoralis.) The plant
juice may cause serious skin damage, which is made worse
by sunlight.
