Geocache Description:

Ved starten på denne multi-runden befinner du deg på det gamle fergeleiet som tidligere forbandt Hinnøya med fastlandet. Denne cachen krever bruk av bil eller båt. Og derfor altså den høye terreng-ratingen.
---
At the start of this multi you are at an old ferry landing. The ferry connected Hinnøya with the mainland. You have to use a car og a boat. Hence the high terrain rating.>

Fergeleiet har stått ubrukt av biltrafikken siden åpningen av Tjeldsundbrua 22. oktober 1967.

Lenge før man våget å drømme om ei bru over Tjeldsundet, var det behov for kommunikasjon mellom Hinnøysiden og fastlandet. I gamle dager var det lokalbefolkningen som besørget persontrafikken over sundet. Det kostet 1 krone.

I 1930 ble ferga "Pillarguri" satt inn i trafikken over Tjeldsundet. Takstene var 2 kroner for en bil, 50 øre for voksne og 25 øre for barn. For storfe kostet det 1 krone og for småfe 50 øre.

Både smått og stort fe har benyttet brua siden Kong Olav foresto den offisielle åpningen av brua i 1967.

The ferry landing have not been used by car traffic after the opening of Tjeldsund bridge October 22nd 1967.

Long before they dared to dream of a bridge over Tjeldsundet, a transport between mainland and Hinnøya was needed. In the old times the locals brough people across the strait at a cost of NOK 1 (€ 0.12) per person.

In 1930 the ferry "Pillarguri" was brough into action. The tariffs was NOK 2 for a car, 0,50 for an adult and 0,25 for a child. For large animals (cows/horses) the fare was NOK 1 and 0.50 for small animals.

Both small and large animals have used the bridge after the official opening in 1967 performed by King Olav V..

The cache initial content: stickers, läckerol, soap and a Jaguar.
