The lights are on and people out skiing ........... / ........ View to Østmarksetra track (and parking)
Welcome to enjoy an evening skiing trip along the illuminated tracks of Østmarka. The trip starts at the north tip of Nøklevann, with stop at interesting Østmarka places like Lutdalen, Sarabråten and Sleppa to collect the clues.
Since my childhood, I have been extensively using the many illuminated tracks in Østmarka for skiing and running, and I have many nice memories from all these trips. So I invite you to a lighted evening skiing trip, while you collect hints for the final cache. You can get to the starting point from many directions, subway stations and parking places, and take the same way back, or find a nice round trip.
This cache is part of AG#15 - Østmarka multi-cache bonus, with clues in four caches.
Remember to write down the clues in the log-sheet
Stop by the following 3 locations along your skiing trip, while you find the answers to these questions.
It is recommended to bring a flash light for your final search. The lights are closed down at 23:00.
- N59° 53.723 E010° 52.475: Lutdalen - How many signs = a, how many names in red = b
- N59° 53.531 E010° 52.797: Sarabråten - How many listed as from 'Oslo' = c, how many trees behind bauta = d
- N59° 53.215 E010° 52.980: Sleppa - How many destination lines = e (not number of tracks; hint: S-Elvåga-Vangen counts as one)
