Sjoa – Åsengjuvet section, the Play Run and Åmot Gorge

We awoke to another day in Norway. The sun was playing hide and go seek with us but it looked like a splendid day lay ahead. Tuomas said we would paddle the well known Åsengjuvet section. This section is about 14 km in length and consists class III and IV continuous water. It has been described as the Zambezi without pools at high water and the good news is that most of the holes will not keep you. With that in mind I was feeling a little nervous beforehand.
