I am defo in for the pre briefing, coming down from scotland for it.

just a quick show of hands to see what numbers we can expect for the briefing?

really looking forward to meeting some like minded fools who would spend their hard earned wages on sitting in a field of snow for a week. complete unbridled joyfull madness or what!

Col......

 

[wolf man]

I'll be going for the briefing.

It'll be good to put faces to the names and swap info.

See you there

I phoned the company yesterday to arrange to try on the two items of kit that I'd like to hire, and also to ask if I'd be collecting the kit on the other side, but the woman that answered didn't know.
It's a ten-hour trip for me so I'd like assuring about a couple of things before I commit to the briefing.

 

[coln18]

10 hour round trip?

man your almost a local (he he)

Col....

 

[Tony]

Tony, The kit that will be hired will be in country so you'll not have the opportunity to try it on at the briefing, I'll check with Woody to make sure that i'm right but that's my understanding.

After the briefing date and at the briefing of course (irrelevant of you being there or not) Woody will be available to answer more questions directly. If anyone that's not going to be there has questions let us have them, I think that Tom (Leonidas) has compiled some as well and Woody can answer them

Hi Folks - Apologies for not coming back to you sooner, I am out of the country at the moment.

Tony is totally correct i have started compiling a question and answer document.
Anyone who cannot attend the briefing feel free to PM your questions and we can share the responses from the briefing

Cheers
Tom

[GearGuru]

Sorry guys I'll have to give this a miss - too many things too little time!!

 

[coln18]

think i will pass on the briefing then, was going to drive down from Scotland if the majority of you guys were going to the briefing, as a kind of meet and greet. But seems a long drive there and back to sit in a room yourself...

never mind, im sure we will all meet soon enough...

Those that are attending the briefihng, have fun and remember - lots of questions

all the best Colin....

 

[timboggle]

Just a heads up for guys coming to Hereford this weekend - I've got some cold weather/arctic gear that might interest you for sale in the classifieds going cheaper if picked up while your in town, ie, no p+p and paypal costs, otherwise, have a safe and enjoyable trip - your in the best of hands with Woody and BE.

 

[peds8045]

As there appears to be a few people pulling out of the briefing, i would like to re-state my intention to travel for the briefing.

[Tony]

At the moment with a few dropping out there's 7 people going to the briefing

 

[Chris the Cat]

Chris: I think that i'll be catching the early flight from Heathrow on the Sunday. Not yet sorted out flights, but that will be my plan (not planning on staying in Oslo)

I'll be sorting out flights next week after the briefing.


Hope to see you guys at the briefing.

Hi all, I have just booked on for this trip and can't wait.

I have sorted out my Norwegian flights, coming back on the 20th.

I want to book my Ryan air flight going out on the 13th staying over in Olso.

has anyone else booked this and if so do you fly to Oslo Rygge or Oslo Trop.

I have not booked a hotel yet but would like to know if and where anyone else is staying on the Saturday.

Look forward to meeting you all, Vince
