On our way north we suddenly found ourselves at the Piteälven, and the whitewater was too tempting: park the car, boats out, into the water.

In Nikkaluokta we wanted to hike 30 to 35 kilometres into the wilderness and paddle the river on the way back. After just one night in the Hilleberg Allak 3 we had to abort. The video shows why.
