Fornebu Birdwatcher Multi-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This cache has been archived.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.

(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:

ENG: Birdwatching at Fornebu.

NOR: Fugletitting på Fornebu.


ENG:

Please observe that the clue for the final stage of the cache is a set of coordinates.

Fornebu can boast of a plethora of bird species that inhabit or transit the area. The starting point for the cache is the former position of the Fornebu bird tower, which was erected in 2003, but decomissioned in 2015 because of lack of maintenance.

If the weather is warm, consider bringing swimming gear. When you are at the cache, you are already well on your way to Storøya beach.

Pretend to get up in the tower and see if you can spot a bird of interest. You should look towards north-northeast, roughly in the direction of the Holmenkollen ski jump. It is possible to spot the bird during the dark hours, but it will certainly be a big challenge.

NOR:

Vær klar over at ledetråden til det siste steget i cachen er et sett koordinater.

Fornebu kan skryte av at rikt mangfold av fuglearter som enten holder til eller reiser gjennom området. Startpunktet for denne cachen er den tidligere posisjonen til Fornebu sitt fugletårn. Dette ble reist i 2003, men ble revet i 2015, pga manglende vedlikehold.

Hvis det er varmt vær, vurder å ta med badetøy. Når du er ved cachen er du ikke langt unna Storøya badestrand.

Lat som om du går opp i tårnet og se om du kan få øye på en interessant fugl. Du bør se mot nord-nordøst, cirka i retning Holmenkollen hoppbakke. Det er mulig å se fuglen når det er mørkt, men det vil jammen ikke være lett.
