The mini heat wave of the first few days had taken it's toll, pushing many of the rivers around Sjoa too high to paddle - after meeting up with some locals - Tore and Life, we headed North. Far, far, uh, very far North!
As we said goodbye to vague darkness we entered the unexplored rivers of the land of 24 hour sun. What we found was a wealth of rivers rarley run, some unrun! For 6 days we paddled world class white water. Day turned to night, night into day, until we didnt know what time it was, apart from boating time! Two / three rivers in a 24 hour period, getting on @11:30 at night getting off @3:30am it didnt matter the sun was still shinning!
The view from my tent at 2am - cant complain really!
