ROOPHLOCH - Grefsenkollen 20220914 09:44
========================================

For this year's ROOPHLOCH I decided to unicycle
to one of my favourite spots, Grefsenkollen. This
is a hill approximately 5km from my home
with around 250m of climbing.
I choose this spot in part for its beauty. From
here you can see pretty much the entirety of
Oslo and much of the fjord. Additionally it
is one of my absolute favourite places to workout.
During covid times I was here almost every day.
Even though you can clearly see the city (and
hear it) there is still a sense of nature here.
Indeed I often spot animals here, deer, frogs,
snakes and even a fox once in a while.
    I guess I should say something about how I am
composing this challenge. The rules (as best I recall
them) state, "outside man-made shelter, no external power
or internet". So, I am writting this out by
hand and will transcribe it later.
    Well, that is it for this year. See you next time!

Everything above the dinkus ('* * *') is an accurate
transcription of my actual hand written post. I even
kept the exact line breaks and my choice to suddenly
start indenting for only the last couple of
paragraphs. ;)

If you would like to see the original posting and
arguably the official entry (since it was created on
location). Here is a picture of my hand written notes
taken immediately after I finished, using the 2MP
camera on a basic Nokia feature phone.

Additionally here is a view from that location, taken
with the same crappy camera. ;)

The GPS coordinates for the location I wrote this are
59.95897, 10.80328 which is a bench and table outside
of Grensenkollen restaurant (yes there is a restaurant
up there but no it is not open now and I did not go
inside). My local timezone is currently +0200 (in case
you want to know when exactly I did this).
