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.

Geocaches which have not been maintained or the owner has not responded will not be taken out of the archive

(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:

Norsk:
Det gule båthuset er et kjent motiv fra Hafrsfjorden (uttales Hafersfjord, Hafsfjord er en moderne avsporing) som er mye fotografert og det har til og med dukket opp malt på en vegg i Paris en gang.

English:
The yellow boathouse is a landmark in the Hafrsfjord (pronounced Haffersfjord) which is often photographed and it has even appeared painted on a wall in Paris once.

Norsk:
Sykkelveien langs Madlasiden av Hafrsfjord fra Møllebukta til Liapynten ved kommunegrensen mellom Stavanger og Sola ble åpnet rundt år 2000. På grunn av mangel på penger ble den siste biten av sykkelveien, den strekningen som ligger i Sola kommune, utsatt og sto først ferdig i april 2004. Byggingen av Sykkelveien førte til at noen av de fredede båthusene mellom her og Liapynten måtte bli flyttet litt.

Båthuset ble bygget første gang rundt år 1900, men raste sammen under krigen og ble deretter bygget opp igjen. Her ved båthuset finner du en liten, veldig grunn strand som passer fint til bading, spesielt for de minste. Man kan også fiske etter små krabber her. Ellers har man god utsikt over fjorden hvor man for eksempel kan få med seg en veldig vakker solnedgang. På dager med litt vind ser man ofte mange brettseilere i området rundt her siden de har sin base på Liapynten.

Vær forsiktig så du ikke mister loggen eller beholderen ned i vannet eller mellom steinene. Det kan også blåse godt her ute av og til, så vær obs på det. Trø forsiktig om steinene er glatte.

English:
The bicycle path along the Madla side of the Hafrsfjord from Møllebukta to Liapynten by the municipal boundary between Stavanger and Sola opened around the year 2000. Due to financial reasons the last piece of the cycle path, the stretch located in Sola, was delayed and was not completed until April 2004. The construction of bicycle path caused some of the boathouses between here and Liapynten, which are protected by law, to be moved a bit.

The boathouse was first built around year 1900, but it collapsed during World War II and had to be rebuilt. Here by the boathouse you can find a small and very shallow beach that is well suited for swimming, especially for small children. You can also fish for small crabs here. Otherwise you have a good view over the fjord where you for example can watch a very beautiful sunset. On windy days you often spot many windsurfers around here since they have their base at Liapynten.

Be careful so you don't drop the log or the container in the water or between the rocks. Be also aware that it can be quite windy out here at times. Tread carefully when the rocks are slippery.
