Norway by now is well known for it´s attractive women, expensive beer and awesome steep rivers. Well this summer it will also be the setting for what we believe to be a never before attempted challenge. 2 Norwegians, Martin Vollen and per Christian Pedersen and 2 Brits, Mark Burton and Ed Cornfield will be aiming to paddle one mile in one month. Over a combined total of 31 days during this summer the team will paddle 5280 feet between the four of us. As a drop can only be counted once this means we all have to paddle on average of 42.5 feet of different vertical white water per day.

As well as a hell of a lot of driving to make sure we paddle enough distance each day it also means a lot of amazing rivers, drops and unknown runs, which will make for an incredible expedition.

The spring has arrived here in the south so the melt will soon be on it´s way and next month we will start our journey in legendary Telemark. The whole trip is being documented so we will keep you updated here with unique shots and clips and you can also follow us on our website: OneMileOneMonth.com

Enjoy your spring!

Me snakkes,

Mark
