Your going a month a so earlier next year so are likely to experience proper Arctic weather, do you think you now have enough experience to be there without an experienced guide/tutor?
Simply Yes, I've both .
The expected weather conditions will be about -30 - -40 degrees Celsius not including the windchill for those interested. and a couple of metres of snow fall
As noted above, any individual undertakes this purely under their own choice, This has only been advertised in the context of a group meet, that just happens to be within the arctic circle, and as thus any individual must make their own decision as to their suitability to attend, In the same way you would do so, on any other meet. As Wayland and myself have pointed out This is not being offered as any sort of course, any member who attends does so under the understanding that NO liability is accepted by ANY member attending for any other member attending, So If unsure as to whether, or not the appropriate experience exists, I would suggest the case would be no. It has also been pointed out that anyone is more than capable of supplying their own transport, accommodation, and merely attending on their own, without meeting others.
I will be taking amble equipment and supplies conclusive to the area that I'm staying, and will also have appropriate emergency and contingency plans for the worst case scenarios, with the equipment to support.
I would strongly advise others to make similar plans, and have appropriate equipment to support this environment. Any member of this meet is NOT liable or responsible for any other member, or their suitability, or equipment, It is just a few like minded people who happen to be traveling to the same place, at the same time, and have decided to travel together.
Thank you however for your concern, which should be noted.
