Gamle Svinesundsbroa Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Makuta Teridax: Hei, olaor!

Vi har holdt av dette stedet for denne cachen og hindret andre i å få publisert en cache i området, men vi kan ikke gjøre det for alltid.

Det var fint at du oppgav en tidsramme, men tidsrammen er utløpt med god margin uten at det er kommet noen melding om at denne cachen og/eller cachesiden er i orden. På grunn av dette er denne cacheoppføringen nå arkivert, slik at andre kan plassere en cache i området.

Hvis du ikke har gjort det allerede, vær snill å sjekke stedet og plukke opp cachen eller eventuelle rester av den så snart som mulig, slik at dette ikke blir liggende ute og ender som søppel.

Hvis du mener jeg har gjort en feil, ta gjerne kontakt. Du finner min e-postadresse på min profilside.

Med vennlig hilsen

Geocache Description:

The old bridge over Svinesund

This cache got accidentally muggled by the norwegian "minute-by-minute" TV concept while recording for the traveling summer TV show "sommeråpent". Read more, in norwegian, and watch the SPOILER video on NRKs web page

It's even TikTok "famous" now: TIKTOK SPOILER

Svinesund is a sound in Ringdalsfjorden, which seperates Norway from Sweden. Two bridges cross here, the old and new Svinesundsbroen. The new bridge is a four lane highway bridge built out of concrete and steel in 2005, while the old bridge was built in stone during WWII, 1939-1946. The original bridge has now been made into a official piece of cultural heritage, and after a lot of restoration work the old bridge now deserves it's own cache.

The cache box is familiar to people sporting certain bad habits, and contains a small logbook, small pencil and small cache note. There's very limited room in here for swag, so please keep it clean of anything else than necessary items and geocoins. This cache really likes geocoins.

Park on either side of the bridge and walk to the cache. The cache should be accessible to people in wheelchairs, provided they have the use of their arms.

Some warnings:

  • BE CAREFUL when removing the cache. The lid is not screwed to the rest of the container, so loosing all the contents of the cache IS an option. The new box is a lock 'n lock, but this item still apply.
  • This cache is loaded with lots of magnets to stay put in the windy conditions. This means it's hard to get it out to sign the log. Try not to pull the lid off it when you pull it out.
  • Remember that the old bridge is considered a customs GREEN sone. If you need to declare something through customs please use the NEW bridge. This cannot be pointed out enough. See this page for a real horror story Lamborghini seized by customs
  • The bridge of course has a railing, but it's a long way down and there's traffic right next to the walkway, so take care of your kids, dogs and grandmothers!
  • There is no need to lean over the edge. Just be careful.
