Norgeskart

The area you will be going on a trip. Map base: Statens kartverk, https://norgeskart.no/#!?project=norgeskart&layers=1002&zoom=12&lat=6660139.85&lon=260674.33&markerLat=6658508.147354598&markerLon=263226.90210290736&p=searchOptionsPanel&sok=Gamle Maridalsvei

You may choose to go east or west of the road (it is also possible to cross the road and spend a day in each area if you wish).
The starting point is at Kirkeby, at the far end of Maridalen. There is a bus here.
It is possible to set off on the evening of 9 May if anyone wishes to — this must be arranged in advance, should it apply
It is important that you plan the trip according to your skills. Choose a trip that is suitably challenging.
- You are welcome to plan a trip that goes somewhat off-trail, if you want to challenge yourself on this and are comfortable reading a map
- NB! The trip plan must be approved by the teacher to make sure the planned trip is feasible
This trip is a final-assessment trip. The planning, carrying out and follow-up work for the trip should show what you have learned over the course of the year.
The teacher will be available in the area you are travelling in and will visit the groups as agreed
