Geocache Description:


🇳🇴

Dette er en virtuell cache, og dermed er det ingen beholder å finne, men det er i stedet en bitteliten oppgave som må gjøres for å kunne logge funn:

Signer nicket ditt i sanden og legg ved et bilde i loggen som viser signaturen og et gjenkjennelig landemerke i bakgrunnen, se eksempelbilde. Logger som ikke tilfredsstiller dette kravet, blir slettet uten videre oppfølging. Du trenger ikke signere sanden nøyaktig på koordinatene, særlig ikke ved flo sjø.



🇺🇸

This is a virtual cache, and thus there is no container to find.Instead there is a small task that you need to do in order to log the cache as found:

Sign your nick in the sand an attach a photo to your log showing the signature and a recognizable landmark in the background, see the sample photo below. Logs that do not satisfy this requirement will be deleted without notice. You don't need to sign the sand on the exact coordinates, especially not during high tides, but it needs to be on this beach.



Sample log photo - a geocaching nickname signed in the sand of a beach, with buildings and docks in the background
Eksempel på akseptabelt loggbilde. Signaturen er synlig og lesbar, og bakgrunnen viser at den er på riktig strand.
Example of an acceptable log photo. The signature is visible and readable, and the background demonstrates that the correct beach was signed.

Marineholmen bystrand

Marineholmen sandstrand er bygd i en gammel slipp tilhørende Bergen Mekaniske Verksted, som holdt til her i tidligere tider. Fjorden har vært gjennom et renseprosjekt som inkludert å dekke bunnen med stein fra et tunnelprosjekt i området. Slippen er blitt renset og deretter fylt på med en to med sand over et område på 800 kvadratmeter. Alt finansiert av grunneieren, som er den samme som har transformert området fra verft til boliger og annen næringsvirksomhet. Stranda ble innviet 28. mai 2018 og har vært åsted for minst én musikkfestival.

Marineholmen urban beach

Marineholmen urban beach was built in an old slipway that belonged to the shipyard Bergen Mekaniske Verksted, which used to occupy this area in olden times. The fjord has been through a clean water project which included covering the seabed with rocks from a tunnel drilling project in the area. The slipway has been cleaned an covered with a foot of sand over an area of 800 square meters. The project was funded by the landowner, who would be the same company that has transformed the site from a shipyard to a residential and non-industrial commercial area. The beach opened to the public on May 28 2018 and has hosted at least one musical festival since then.
