It was Geir Ove Buseth who shared the news on Thursday morning:
"Hello! Just wanted to let you know that the first two maps in Stolpejakten opened today at 6am. There is a map around Ål Sentrum and a map in Torpo. Even before 9am today, the first person had already taken all 73 poles"
- Geir Ove Buseth
At the top of the list is now Strendo clinic in first place together with several other participants who have collected all the poles. The commitment is clear, and the competition is already underway. Now it remains to be seen who will keep the momentum going throughout the season.
Pole hunting is a low-threshold activity that combines physical activity, nature experience and local exploration. Using a map and app, participants find "poles" placed around the municipality - and compete to collect as many as possible. Have you downloaded the app and got out there yet?
