The Driva Expedition Journal - The Commercial Section

Tuesday, 27 July 2010

We rigged the raft and reshuffled gear. Ine was in the raft and myself and Rob in kayaks. We descended down the commercial section of the river, Opplev Oppdal, use for their trips.

After lunch we walked to a wilderness camp, captured images and met up with a reporter from Oppdalingen ( A local Oppdal newspaper ) We found camp, a beautiful sandy beach with low hanging trees. I felt dehydrated when we arrived, drank some water but ended up retching into the bushes. I found my therm-a-rest and lay down. It wasn’t long before I visited the bushes again. Ate Marie Biscuits for dinner and retired to my tent at 7pm with a temperature. By 9pm I had emptied whatever bug was in my stomach and felt much better immediately.
