OK I've just confirmed I'm up for doing both of these courses but now I think we need somewhere to chew the fat and make sure we get the best out of them.
Looking at most Scandinavian flight weight allowances I can see some potential problems that could possibly be alleviated through co-operation. For example, does everybody need a billy can or could some take frying pans, some take billies and others kettles so that everyone can share? That kind of thing.
I have some thoughts that could do with feedback from tutors or previous attendees.
Snow shovels aren't on the kit list so do we need them or not?
Kit lists tend to contain the essentials but often neglect the really useful desirables. What else is useful to take?
How much hiking is likely to be involved?
I'm nowhere near as young or fit as I once was and can't help wondering if I need to get in training.
I sure as heck want to take a camera with me but wonder if there will be any chance to recharge batteries during the first week? If not I'll need to buy more than I already have.
I'm sure more questions will arise but those will do for a start.
