![file](//uploaded-files.theadventurists.com/images/blog/58eedabaefe0f7dce0dda4ad5543bc1a593ddd4e.jpeg) With 2015 firmly behind us eyes have turned towards 2016 and in particular the Ice Run which is only 65 days away. Our new team member "Dave" (a Ural motorcycle) is already waiting for us a few kms outside of Irkutsk.

With 2 weeks of camping on ice in temperatures hovering around the -40 degree mark pending we need to form our insulation strategy. kit buying has therefore commenced for one of the Kraken Molotov team.

After several motorcycle trips around Europe I started craving some more adventurous travel. I hooked up with the Adventurists on the rickshaw run in 2013. In 2015 i started training towards the Icarus Trophy which I'm hoping to do the Icarus Trophy in 2018. Last year I took part in the Ice Run in Siberia so now its time to take on a longer trip
