Rombakk Revisited (April Hike)

Back from the wilds of Rombakk Fjord and the Navvy Trail in winter (early April).
I took 30 good folk down the trail from Kateratt to Rombaksbotten. There was deep snow all the way again. The snowshoeing was fantastic - even if I had to break the trail the whole way.
We saw the Elk again, a mother & calf just before the main bridge. Great that the area is so wild, dramatic and beautiful - and so accessible.
Tiring but fantastic. We had a break at mid way for coffee and continued on the upper Naturisti trail as the lower route along the river was to deep & uneven with snow & ice (for safety).
We made it out to the head of the fjord in 3 hours for what was a gourmet hikers lunch in the tent and then a fast RIB ride out to Narvik coutesy KIKKI.
We then caught the train back to Riksgransen. Wonderful - recommended. Very different from the summer hike.
