One of the main reasons for setting out on the One Mile One Month project was to paddle some of the amazing rivers and drops Norway has to offer and meet the people out there hitting them.

This past month we have been in the Telemark region of Norway. Telemark usually has quite a short season but this year due to the snow pack has been really long and with high flows. There are many amazing runs here but one in particular which is pretty much what OMOM is all about is called Home Run.

Home Run is a beautiful waterfall combination. This 1km section on the river Mår offers 5 drops of various difficulty and size that can be run in a whole range of different water levels.

Not only is Home run a paddlers paradise but the take out also offers great camping for kayakers and is very rarely free from a tent or van. This spring it´s been the home of 2 Kiwis, Josh Neilson and Sam Sutton, both who have enjoyed having this playground as there backyard.
