The Black Gate Mystery 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This cache has been archived.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,

Geocache Description:

Sortland har en sort port. Ikke gå gjennom den!

Sortland has a black gate - do not enter it!


Denne cachen ligger ikke på koordinatene over! For å finne den kan du først finne to andre cacher, Osvoll og Sandstrand. I disse cachene finner du to avstander, oppgitt i meter.

Disse avstandene vil lede deg til den sorte porten. Porten har en hengelås med et firesifret tall på (tallet står på begge sider). Del dette tallet på 12, og du får et tresifret tall. Legg til 7.

Cachen befinner seg så mange meter vest for porten som dette nye tresifrede tallet, og ca. 25 meter sørover.

Lykke til!

The cahce is not hidden at the posted coordinates! To find it, you could find two other caches, Osvoll and Sandstrand. These caches contain two distances, given in metres.

The distances will lead you to the black gate. The gate has a padlock with a four-digit number on it (the number is repeated on both sides). Divide this number by 12, the result is a three-digit number. Add 7 to the result.

The cache is as many meters west of the gate as the last three-digit sum, and another 25 meters south.

Good luck!
