Weighs 6lbs and packed, it is 18" long x 10" diameter

Cheers Tom, I've just established that’s about the same size as my tent. I've just tried packing that in my kit bag with all the stuff I'm taking and it just ain't gonna fit! Really appreciate the offer, but I think I'm going to have to go with the rental from Woody's guys locally. Thanks again and sorry for the messing about.

Absolutely no worries Stuart, as long as we all get there and have gear with us or waiting....

I'm turning up at 5.30am....not exactly an international flight (So do not need two hours lead time) but allows for the unexpected

If you are flying BA you can book in online from 24hours prior to departure, print your boarding pass, etc.
Then all you need to do is turn up and take your bag to one of several fast bag drops.

Recommend we all meet 'after' getting through customs.....

I'll be the one in the body scanner quizzing security if I dress to the right or the left and if I have kidney stones

CDC I'll PM my cell if you can SMS your location around 6am?

Tom

 

[Chris the Cat]

Will do Tom!

Has anyone changed GBP's for NOK's recently and if so, for what rate and where from?

 

[Woody]

A Note for all guys (and Gals!)

Can you ensure that when you pack your rucksacks you make sure that your Jacket (If you are not wearing it) is at the top of your packs and that your head torches and eating/drinking utensils are easily accessible as you will need these as soon as you arrive to get your selves established in your Lavvu's and for dinner on arrival.

Just finished my first pack trial PLCE bergen full at 15kg inc an axe - chuffed taking a day pack thats nearly empty. Can i get away with a alu show shovel in hand luggage - maybe not- oh well

Not long to go now guys.

Im busy packing and repacking my kit just now, so im nearly sorted now, just got to get some local money for the extras etc, how much are you guys thinking of taking for the extras?

Do you have any thoughts on this woody, im planning on doing most of the extra options available (dog sledging etc) and i dont want to be caught short as it would be quite embarrassing to bushcraft expeditions if i had to revert to begging for money in the arctic circle.....

One other thing woody, are the gaiters a must, i do have a couple of pairs but with my sorrel caribou boots im not sure they will fit over them as i ordered the boots 1 size bigger..
