Day 9 - Monday - Upper Driva

Two hour drive, get in in a lovely scenic valley. Beautiful pool-drop river, short grade III+ rapids. Low level - only 1 on the gauge.

Deep blue water in a deep blue gorge. The major hazards weren't very difficult at this level - just an occasional swimmer!

We had split up into two groups, but all met up at the last major fall, a photogenic drop. I can see that it would be quite nasty at higher levels.

Lots of photos. Lots of sun. We even managed to find the get out (after worrying that we'd passed it).

We stopped for a late lunch at a swimming lake in Oppdal, but discovered that nearly everyone there was under 10 years old!

One the way home, we passed two girls hitchhiking. It turns out that John in the van wouldn't let Baldrick pick them up because he would get left in the back. Dom nearly drove into them. Conor wasn't allowed to pick them up because Lisa was in the car...

Next -> Day 10 - Tundra
