Strilen Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: 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.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it 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,

Strilen. Actually this is the name of the farmers and fishermen who were living in the surrounding area of Bergen. In my opinion there isn’t anyone of them left. Strilen was known to be a hard and brave warrior, more like their ancestors the Vikings. Strilen got famous in Norway after “strilekrigen” a local war that lasted for some days in April 1765. Jochum de Lange who where convicted and sat in prison for starting the war, had his farm somewhere on Flatøy.

Strilen. Egentlig er dette det opprinnelige navnet på folkeferdet i området rundt Bergen. Etter min mening er det ingen igjen. Betydningen av ordet stammer fra at folk bosatt i omegnen var stridige; harde og modige krigere som deres forfedre vikingene. Strilen ble alminnelig kjent over hele Norge i forbindelse med strilekrigen som kun varte noen få dager i april 1765. Jochum de Lange som ble dømt til tukthus for å ha startet krigen hadde gård på Flatøy.
