The Driva Expedition Journal - Snøheim to Storbekken, mountain paddling.
Friday, 23 July 2010
What an amazing day! Clear blue skies, clear sight to far away. Mount Snøhetta proudly reaching for the sky. Rested crew. Happy crew! Started the day carrying the backpacks down to Svone confluence. Enough water to run the river from here. First gorge came soon, absolutely clear green water and steep rock walls riverside, called Storfallet and with cool class 3 drops! Boogie H2O and some class 3 rapids till past Grønbakken except one drop under a bridge that we carried around. One weir surprise. Set up camp between the road and the train tracks. Fortunately the music of the river was louder than the cars and trains.
