CME Expedition 4

Location: Skien, Norway.
Members: 001, 003, 004.
Type: Shelter.
Status: Abandoned.

When exploring, sometimes you poke around for a while, only hitting dead ends and locked doors. Yet once in a while, Lady Luck works her magic and you manage to find a way in. This was to be one of those occations, and we struck gold! Bigtime...

Having packed flashlights, camera and gear, I fired up the cavemobile and set out to pick up Caveman 003 and 004. It was a bright and sunny evening and we had little expectations about what we might find at the designated location. Once we got there, we geared up and snooped around until we managed to find the main entrance. These were the usual type, double blast proof doors, but with no way of entering. They didn't seem to be locked from the outside though, but still, they wouldn't budge. We decided to take some pictures before we carried on.

Communication & Cables

Lock

Still, we weren't quite ready to give up. As mentioned in other reports, a location like this usually has more than one way in or out. Due to the fact that this place was heavily overgrown and clearly abandoned, we had to fight our way through branches and debris. Then we found it (...) The secondary entry point, and it was open!!
