06-Apr-2002 -- This confluence was the first to be visited in Norway, in january 2000. At that time I went there on a trip together with several other members of my family.

Since this was before the SA errors were eliminated, it was hard to locate the exact spot, and I used a detailed map instead of my GPS.

Afterwards I've checked the location on several new maps, and it seemed like our first visit might have missed the exact point. During this second visit, I was able to measure the actual distance to about 75 m.

On saturday April 6th Larvik Orienteering Club, which is based nearby, held a mass start event to commemorate their 50 year jubilee. At this event, all the competitors except for the young beginners had to visit a check point which was placed on the nearest (to the confluence point) usable terrain feature!

After the competition I made another trip up on Haugane hill, and measured that the check point was 66 m from the confluence, i.e. well within the 100 m maximum. I also surveyed the exact spot, under really excellent GPS conditions: 12 sats locked, DOP equal to 0.8!

This means that with 109 visitors who all had to check in, this is probably a record for both the most visits in a single day, and the most visits total.
