A trainee stuntman has returned home after completing a gruelling 16,000km journey across Siberia.
Olly Rowland had to battle sub zero temperatures as he took part in the Pioneers Ice Run, driving a motorbike up a frozen river into the Arctic Circle.
If that was not hard enough, the 23-year-old had to inject himself with insulin several times a day as he suffers from type 1 diabetes.
He said: ?I had to plan a little more carefully than my team mate.
?I took advice from my GP and Diabetes UK who were very helpful in advising on how to handle my insulin.
