Broken Chain V Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Makuta Teridax: 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.

Due to lack of response from the owner, this cache 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.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Makuta Teridax

Geocache Description:

Near the monument Broken Chain.

"Brutt lenke" er et minnesmerke fra et av de mørkeste
kapitler i norsk oljehistorie. 123 mennesker omkom da
boligplattformen Alexander Kielland havarerte den 27. mars
1980.

Monumentet er plassert i et fint turmoråde nær havet ved
Kvernavik i Stavanger. Geocachen ligger nær Stavangers
vestligste punkt Smiodden, ca 100 meter fra monumentet.
Parkeringsplass på følgende koordinater:

N58 58.252 E5 35.884

Herfra er det ca 150 meter å gå på opparbeidet turvei,
den siste delen over fjell og gress. Turboksen er en
matboks, de tre opprinnelige boksene ble borte.

En annen severdighet i området er en hule ved sjøen:
N58 57.842 E5 35.904 Følg bare stien mot sør, og du
kommer til hulen som er vist på bildene under.

ADVARSEL! Det frarådes å legge igjen sporbare gjenstander på grunn av pøbel. Legg boksen tilbake slik du fant den, dekket med to steiner.
