I would like to share cab fare, if no one can pick up from Hønefoss
I soo want to participate in this … ! But I just saw the news that although a lot will change on July 5th, Värmland will stay red So I still can’t say Hopefully there will be more updates/changes in the near future
I got yes to have Monday 26 July off work, so I can come (travelling home on Monday).
I would also share a cab (unless there are restrictions of how many passengers they can take - like more than 2).
Please let me know if I’ve made any mistakes in the attendance list in the first post.
If there are restrictions on number of passengers in a regular cab, they could drive with a larger cab instead. The large cabs have two fares, one for 1-4 passengers (the same as for a regular cab) and one for 5+ passengers. Just make sure you order the cab early enough, just in case they need to use a larger cab.
It would definitively be nice to walk to/from the meetup. But I might be able to pick up people if needed. Let’s see when we get closer to the meetup.
Rundstykket & I gave up on Värmland for now and just booked a 2-night stay at Scandic Hønefoss.
Happy to share a maxi taxi on Sunday with @pinayodyssey and @marit_la! If no-one can pick us up. Someone on Facebook said they would be able to pick up a few people in Hønefoss, but I bet they can’t take 4 passengers.
I’ve booked a room for myself on Scandic Hønefoss Saturday-Monday.
I’ll be taking the train (to Bergen) and will arrive at 13.31.
We’ve booked the buss-for-tog Drammen-Hønefoss on Saturday, arriving 13.23. See you there. Rundstykket wants a beer when we get there, it’s summer vacation after all
The good news is that Husfliden in Hønefoss is open until 15:00 on Saturdays. They have a good selection of postcards showing Hønefoss. You’ll have to ask the staff for the postcards though. They had hidden them in a box in a storage room last time I was there.
Thanks for the tip @Norway_girl, I got the feeling we will visit after checking in to the hotel and on the way for a beer/bubbles (if Rundstykket can wait for the beer, or he can find a place ). And good that there are postcards of Hønefoss.
By the way @Norway_girl is the train station and bus station a the same place?
No, unfortunately not. The bus station is in a street next to the Scandic Hotel. The train station is 600 meters away from the hotel.
Should be relatively easy to walk to/from the train station.
Thanks. Found out that it’s not a long walk from the train station, but I kind of assumed that the bus station would be at the same place.
@KAS I see you at the hotel then.
It’s possible to take a bus back to Hønefoss after the meetup.
There’s 2 bus stops between Jevnaker skole and Eggemoen. “Bergergrinda” and “Bergermoen”. The bus is supposed to be there at 16:23/16:24.
It’s possible to buy bus tickets in the app called “Innlandstrafikk bilett”.
It’s also possible to buy a ticket by sending a SMS (pay for 2 zones).

Edit to add:
Since @Baguetta is staying in Jevnaker… The bus will turn in Hønefoss and drive back to Gjøvik, via Jevnaker. After a long break! 18.09/18:10 from Bergermoen/Bergergrinda. (Google maps says it’s 4,4 km (55 minutes of walking) from the museum to the hotel though…)
Yes, the screenshot shows the railway station!
I’m wondering if anyone will go out for dinner in the evening after the meetup on Sunday in Hønefoss. I would like to come so I don’t have to eat alone that evening.
Absolutely! We’re going to have to find dinner in Hønefoss on Sunday and the more the merrier.
I guess there will not be a meetup card? Hope they sell at the museum. Would be great to have a card with the Twist😊 Fingers crossed.
Great😃
