A classic night cache. Refer to the mother of all Night caches for
how to do these things.

The trail:
Starts close to Skullerud t-bane. About 1 km walk on good forest
road. Reflectors are made from ordinary round safety reflectors cut
into quartersections
This cache can be combined with Hysse #4. A good starting point for
Hysse #4 at night hunt has been marked with 2 reflectors.
The cache location is marked with 3 reflectors, the container can
be found within a few meters of this mark.
Our trail continues for 400 meters, but dead ends with a reflector
held in place by a tack with a large white head.
From this place you will have to bush 150 - 200 meters north in
relatively easy terrain before you hit a good forest road.
There is a trail parralell to the exit track, you could also try
and follow that if you know where it is. ( We couldn't find it
)
Otherwise you could retrace the crumbtrail on your GPSr. Either
way, the trail is 2km on road, and 2 km off road.
Expect to spend at least 2 hours on this.
Equipment:Map - preferably on GPS. There are many steep places
in this area, you don't want to go there if you loose the
trail.
Compass - when the going gets slow most GPSr aren't much help in
telling which direction you are moving.
Extra lights + spare batteries.
There is a 3 meter deep crevice that the path crosses. Otherwise
the terrain is relatively easy. Doolsen brought his youngest son
with us when marking the trail - hence the name Dræng :-) Robin age
9 made it through without any help, so did his older sister aged
11. But still this isn't a very kid friendly trail.
