Dear all,

Please note that on arrival at Bardufoss airport at 11:30 on the 11th we will be getting ourselves ready for the journey to the expedition location. The first part of this is a 40 minute bus journey and then the final part is an approximately 1 mile walk in, where you will be expected to carry your own pack (for those coming out early etc there will be a limited facility to transport any extra baggage...Note - LIMITED)

At the airport we will have plenty of time to get into the appropriate clothing if not already in it and we will have time to wait should any ones flight etc be delayed.

With this in mind though, please go through your kit and ask, is it on the kit list? do I REALLY need it? am I duplicating items? ..... if you come up with the answers No, No, yes ... leave it at home ... you will need to carry it! ...... and you will find that you CAN get by with out it ..... improvise .... overcome, its what its all about : )

See you in the freezer!

Woody​

I seriously could pack my car and attend, paying all the fees etc.
If any of the organizers could PM me this I would be grateful.

Are the slots full or can late bozos also join?

Ivanhoe, I think there is a vacancy as a few people have had to drop out. You will find the main thread in the Expedition forum. The course starts on Sunday morning. If you attend can you bring five litres of unleaded petrol.

 

[Chris the Cat]

..and Whisky!

[Imagedude]

And a heated tent...

 

[Chris the Cat]

And sub-zero temps!

 

[Ivanhoe]

Dammit. That was close. I would have needed to pack my
stuff this morning and be on my way at noon for this to work.

The thing is I've talked alot with a friend of mine abuot joining
exactly this type of course in northern Norway or Sweden.


Seriously, had I read this two days earlier I'd have time for all
arrangements...

It would have been great to meet Imagedude, Chris the Cat
and all the rest of the students. And even the filthyrichoilsheik
norwegian staff!


Have a gret time up there, lads!
