----------------------> how to get there
Distance is this time held at Eikeli vgs,
which is located at Bispeveien 10 in
Bærum, just outside Oslo. It's very easy
to get to the hall, several trains and
buses stop almost outside the door. The
easiest way to get to the hall is to take
subway line 2 towards Østerås and get off
at Østerås station. The way to the party
place is marked from there.
By car
From south (coming in to Oslo from E-18 Drammen)
Follow E-18 until you see a sign
that says "lysaker / fornebu". Drive
off the road (use the intersection,
for gods sake), then follow the
signs to "Jar" Follow the road a few
kilometers, you're supposed to cross
two bridges. When you've crossed the
last bridge, take left then right
again. Now just follow the road for
a few kilometers, you're supposed to
pass a Shell-station on your left
hand. When you've passed that one,
you're getting close. Now look for
"Eikeli Videregående Skole" on your
right hand, a large brown building.
Take right and follow the road
called "Bispeveien", and then turn
left again. You're now at Distance :]
From north or east (coming to Oslo following E-6)
Drive till you reach Oslo (Capitol
of Norway, remember?). Then follow
road called E-6 until you see the
signs leading to "Drammen" (E-18).
You're supposed to drive through the
center of Oslo and continue west.
Drive until you see a sign leading
to "Jar" on your right hand. Follow
the road a few kilometers, you're
supposed to cross two bridges. When
you've crossed the last bridge, take
left then right again. Now just
follow the road for a few
kilometers, you're supposed to pass
a Shell-station on your left hand.
When you've passed that one, you're
getting close. Now look for "Eikeli
Videregående Skole" on your right
