The Driva Expedition Journal - Cold Nights, clear skies and sunny days
Saturday, 24 July 2010
We woke to a very cold morning, frost covered everything and I put on my boating thermals on top of my camp thermals. We warmed up in the morning sun with a hot coffee.
We paddled a great section of rapids through a narrow little gorge, the morning light was a treat to capture photos. We arrived at Kongsvoll -an old Inn, which has been running since the 1100’s- for a food collection and recharge of camera batteries. I strolled around the inn’s gardens collecting images and wondering what it would have been like to stay at the inn during winter.
Back on the river, the gradient kept it’s consistency and we had two rather steep portages. Ran a great section of water by the “Troll and Church” bridge, found a grassy camp soon after to settle in for the night.
