The Driva Expedition Journal - Romfo.

Sunday, 1 August 2010

The river has more volume now after the confluence with Grøvu. We are traveling through farmed areas, and more waterfalls than i can count. The clouds are low, and mist is moving fast along the mountainsides. The main rapid of the day is at Romfo. It is a 1 km long / short section, and demands a scout. The main character of the section is boulders and bends. The second rapid has an undercut the main current flows into. After Scott and i portaged Rob ran a good solid line past the undercut. I was happy to line the raft on this level. The rest of the section was a continuous zig zag move between boulders, pour overs, ledges, stoppers and funky water. I could really feel how the raft was sucked down and in unplanned directions several times. In the evening we booked a hut at Myren camping. We are in the area of fenced land and we decide we are better off staying at campsites.
