The Sjoa Expedition Journal - Faukstad to Faukstad, Raft Race

Wednesday, 14 July 2010

Today was a little different than the other days. With good help of friends in Kongsberg Paddleklubb and Oslo Elvesportsklubb, we organised the annual downriver raft race from Harlaug Bridge to Faukstad. The Heidal valley is busy due to the Sjoa River festival and Eventyrfestivalen. The day was buzzing with happy friends coming through the house, the weather turned out warm and sunny and the river came down to 351.92, which is a good high level. Fun fun fun with 9 teams competing! In the evening is the ever best part of the year, the Pimp & Ho party. We are the last house on the road to Pensj where the party is, and had the privilege of an excellent view from our doorstep to all the glamorous boaters walking through.
