This seemed to be the best place to stick this to gain possible interest but if Mods want to move it , so be it.
Just wondering if anyone else may be interested in knocking off an Arctic Survival course within the next 6 - 12 ( 18?) months?
I would have thought if enough people show ( serious ) interest it would be possible to use the power of the 'group consumer' to get some decent discount by dealing directly with potential schools and instructors, and using the 'clout' of a group booking to get a discounted price for all. As a group you could probably dictate the contents of a course to a point, however agreeing amongst ourselves is another thing.
The sort of course i am thinking of is similiar to this one ;-

Alot of the UK schools run expeditions and would seem to just outsource to the local instructors , so why can't we just organize ourselves and deal directly??
Anyway thats the sort of half-a##ed pitch i wanted to make.
Any comments??
