After NOSE marker no. 1 in fair weather, you might try FINO no. 295 in
somewhat less summery circumstances:
http://home.no.net/pglider/2001/grensen/grensen.htm (last two
photographs).

One thing is clear to me now: the FINOSE type marker is the normal one
on the NO border.

One question though. Why is NOSE no. 1 no. 1? In other words, why did
"they" start the marker count right there? To the north, the
enumeration from no. 1 is straightforward, but in the other direction
other designations are used. First (and I have this info from
Norgesglasset, just by clicking around), At the sea end of NOSE, there
are the markers I, II, IIA, IIB, IIC, then the alphabet is used: A, B,
C, D etc. (not forgetting intermediate markers like for instance KA,
KB, KC, KD, and even KBa, KBb, KBc, KBd, KBe), up to no. 1. Were these
sections established in different periods? Peter H. or Jesper, any
ideas?
