2012 bcuk Advanced Arctic Expedition
- Thread starter Tony
- Start date
Just got confirmation on my flights. I am also going on the 8th and returning on the 18th. CU all there!
I'm probably going to fly in and out of Tromso, I think there are a few buses every day that pass Bardufoss.

Good man
I'm setting up a Googlemap of the area with some waymarks for shops, garages, good camp spots and the like.
Is it a direct flight again now ID? I junked that one as they put stops on it and upped the price.
No, change at Oslo. £320 return (out on the 3rd, back on the 18th) with BA and SAS. It's an option.
I paid 250 GBP for my flights, but didn't add any extra luggage. KLM charges an arm and a leg for that, so if it doesn't fit in the bag, it's going to be left behind
Do we know the exact location of the course? If (when) the basic course does not run I'll possibly be doing a skiing course in southern Norway which means that i'll miss the transport on the 11th and will have to find my own way to the course location.
All,
Just a short note to inform you that due to the airline schedule change the expedition drop off time will now be 12:30 hrs on the 16th and NOT 08:30hr
Becky will be emailing every one independently to confirm this.
Imagedude: in answer to your question, the nearest town to the expedition location is Øverbygd, in the Målselv region. I believe the Norwegian bus service does have a route through here.

Apologies guys, I'm going to have to pull out of this one- unfortunately I was made redundant before Xmas.
I see there is waiting list in any case, so hopefully my dropping out won't cause a problem.
I'm gutted I'm not going, you may remember I committed to this course at the end of 2009!

Woody, Similar is true for the basic, according to BDU website there is now only one flight to Oslo on 10th at 06:30
So one flight out of Bardufoss on the day we leave ( the 15.30 ).
Lets hope it does not get full befor our 'go' date of the 15th, or I, for one, will not be able to make the course.
The only way I can make the 11.30 RV on the 11th is by comming a day early ( the Saturday ) and getting my head down at the airport!!
Sorry to here your news Widu, I too lost my job this year. I can only just afford to go and as such can't afford another night in an airport!
Take care.
Chris.

Current status is that both Teepee and myself will be in Norway as of the 8th and will be camping (preferably outside) somewhere nearby.
Does anyone know where the nearest fuel station is to the airport for petrol for the stove and if its open late at night?
Alkylate Petrol is widely available in Norway and fuel of choice for petrol stoves amongst many stove users there, burns very clean, Aspen is one brand I'm told same as Aspen 4T in the UK.
