Hello!
So, I had 9/10 on my East Wall Explorer deed. I knew the only place left to go were the mighty, the magnificent, Falls of Rauros. I had heard tales of their glory, and of their peril in equal measure. Few had managed to travel there and survive. Luckily, I have the privelege to say, that I, Stephenfry, Dwarf Explorer (and Photographer) Extraordinaire, am one of the few (ish). And, like a good explorer, I will share my findings with you.
Start at Parth Galen in the East Wall, and swim, a long way, past the mighty Tindrock, until you reach the Falls. Then, keep swimming, past the large central rock until you're very, very, very close to the edge. You will find that the raging torrents are actually going over you, and you can even stand up! Hell, take your horse with you! The roar of the Falls, and the view from the top is truly a sight to behold.
On my noble steed, Dave, at the top of the falls.
As I said, the water goes right over you. I'm there somewhere, I think!
So, when I said I survived, umm...I lied. I wanted to get a good picture of the view, as at the top, there's kinda too much water to really see anything. So I jumped. And I died. But the death effect, somehow, made the final picture even better. Its like the foam rushing over your face. Except it's not. It's your death.
I have to say, I'm very proud of this picture, it's my favourite so far!
See you soon,
Stephenfry, Hunter, Photographer and Explorer Extraordinaire, Imladris.
