Derf
Derf has completed several expeditions in the last few years, both as a member of ICL trips, such as Paddle Peru 2012 (a white water kayaking trip that included first descents of new rivers in North Eastern Peru) and through several independent ventures. Her favourite discipline is kayaking, which she has been practicing since 2006. Derf has kayaked all over the place, she loves being out in the open, and preferably “on the river”. She also has extensive trekking experience, and in 2010 completed a self-guided self-supported 20-day trek through the Nepalian Himalayas as part of a two-man team. She makes a great campfire.
Christian
Christian has enjoyed cycling from a young age but first started touring back in 2009 when he went for a 1 week 'dash' from London to Brugge and back with friends. Finding a love for this form of travel he has since independently planned a series of cycling trips. In 2011 he went from Finse in central Norway to Bergen and down the coast, wild camping in bad weather along the way as part of a self supported two man team. Last summer he toured South East Asia starting from Singapore, over to Malaysia and ending in northern Thailand. Each of these three week trips has involved days of 8 hours of cycling up to 140 km/day. As an active individual he is also a member of a London based Dragon Boat team. On the water he has paddled regularly in UK races and competed internationally in La Vogalonga a non-stop 30 km paddle around the island of Venice. He is an enthusiastic climber, member of the Imperial Cycling Society and is also very nice.
