Day trip from Oslo to Fredrikstad with Denis
Happening now.
This one already happened. See what's coming up →
First time at one of these? Here's what it's like.
Ticket sales close at midnight on Friday night, because the train tickets are bought as one group booking before we travel.
Get your ticket
That's what actually reserves your spot, secure checkout via Stripe. Your ticket arrives by email straight after, with a link you can keep and show on the day.
Checkout is filled in with the email you're signed in with, so the ticket lands on your account. If Stripe swaps in a different address it saved, that's fine too, the email you get has a link to move the ticket over.
This one's full. Message me if you'd like to be told about a spot opening up.
Ticket sales for this one are closed. Message me if you still want to come and I'll tell you honestly whether there's room.

Denis is taking a group to Fredrikstad on Saturday, and I'm putting it up here so it's easy to join and easy to pay for in one place.
We meet at Oslo S at 09:00, under the departure boards in the main hall, and walk down to the platform together. The train is the 09:14 and it takes about an hour. If the platform gets changed, which happens, it doesn't matter, because we go down as a group.
In Fredrikstad we head for Gamlebyen, one of the best preserved old fortified towns in Scandinavia. We walk around it together, and we stop somewhere to eat when people get hungry. Nothing's booked, so whether that ends up being one table or a couple of smaller ones depends on what's free when we turn up. Lunch is your own, it isn't part of the ticket. There's time to go off on your own for a bit too if you'd rather. We take the 18:46 train back, so you're in Oslo again the same evening.
What it costs
650 kr, and that covers your train both ways.
Lunch and anything else you buy during the day is your own, so bring a card.
Buying a ticket
Ticket sales close at midnight on Friday night.
That isn't me being strict about it. The train tickets get bought as one group booking before we travel, so once that's done the number is fixed.
You can cancel and get refunded yourself from your account page any time up until the night before. After midnight the automatic route closes, so message me instead and we'll work something out.
How many
Fifteen of us with Denis, so fourteen tickets. It's kept small on purpose, so it feels like a group rather than a tour.
What to bring
Shoes you can actually walk in. Gamlebyen is cobblestones and we'll be on our feet a good part of the day.
A jacket. It's August in Norway and we're outside most of the time.
A card for lunch.
If it rains we still go. It's a town, there are places to be indoors.
If something goes wrong in the morning
If you're late and miss us at 09:00, get on the 09:14 anyway and message the group, we'll find each other on the train or at the other end.
If you miss the train completely, message me and I'll tell you where we are.
Who's welcome
Anyone. You don't need to know a single person there, and turning up on your own is completely normal at these, most people do.
