Yes I'm in.

My client has moved their booking to February for me so I can make both courses now.

Just tried to ring Becky with a credit card in my hand but only got the answer phone.

I had to miss out last year and I was gutted (I had even got all the gear together for it), but I've definately got the time off and the funds for this one!
I'm in!

I'm tempted to do both this course and the basic, would that be ok?

Bob , I think you'll find Wayland is planning to do the same.

I've already put my deposit on both, It makes sense to get two weeks out of one flight cost to me.

 

[Greg]

I've just paid my deposit for the Advanced Course!

Good man

 

[Wayland]

Good to have you aboard Skaus.

 

[Wayland]

Just started making a canvas and Ventile anorak for this.

I'll post up when it's done.

Is this going ahead then? I would potentially be interested after the course run last year, but would be looking for something with a more physical/active emphasis?

Cheers,

 

[Wayland]

We just need two more people, if you are one of them I'm sure we can get one more.

hi all
i have 2 people who are keen to sign up to this but am a little bit worried that the advance arctic expedition has no heated tents. Am i being an over protective wife?!?! will you guys not freeze out there for a week!?!? they really want to go and i dont want to risk signing them up to the normal arctic course which may or may not happen without the full numbers signing up. If we sign them up to the advance arctic course, it's a definite trip. Can anyone advise what it is like without the backup of heated tents to help put my mind at ease?
thanks

 

[Chris the Cat]

Cold, Ms Wife !
You need to be on your game. You can and should be comfortable, the instructors are top rate, but as one who has used the heated tents
( And don't forget, the fire is not always on ! ) it is no walk in the park !
However, my last trip with this outfit, put together by BcUK was one of the defining trips of my life ! ( I've made a few! )
I hope this helps in some small way, other will be along later and I am happy to talk to you some more if it would help.
My best.
Chris.

 

[Wayland]

And I am going to keep bumping / pumping the basic trip to get the numbers up for that because I really, really want to do both.

Sorry guys, I forgot to update that I successfully migrated my deposit from the basic to advanced course. As it's 20 odd years since my Artic course in the mob I'm hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew! Anyhow, more the merrier!
