Yep my mistake! I read the thread wrong!
So when is this going to happen?
"Included in the price:"
8. Pre course UK briefing and kit/clothing demo.

I would be interested in this, but will need to wait until the end of September to confirm my dates with university. Does it matter if you have not been to a meet before?
Just had a thought. If anyone needs some assistance in keeping the cost down, I've got some Arctic kit that they can borrow, if they so desire, providing they look after/return it.
I'm not going to be needing it at that time, so I'd prefer to know it's being put to good use rather than stowed away doing nothing.
British army Arctic sleeping bag & goretex bivvy
Salopettes
Boots
Goggles
Thick thermarest
Fur hat
Underarmour
Probably a few other bits

Tony,
Please could you delete me from this expedition. I am unable to attend due to medical grounds; therefore would like my place to go to someone who can make it.
I look forward to the next one, and hope I'll be fit enough to attend.
All the best,
Ian
P.S. I've got a RAB Down Sleeping Bag (5 season) available for loan if anyone would like to try it - I used it for a survival course in February and the outside temperature was around -4 degrees C, and I was extremely toasty.

Ok, we're ready to take bookings on this now, the way it's going to work is you need to email info@bushcraftuk.com with Bushcraft UK Arctic Expedition in the subject. You will then receive an email detailing how to pay, terms and conditions and the general information contained in this thread, make sure you read it.
Common sense also dictates that anyone going on an Expedition should take out some insurance, it's just a few quid and protects you in case something happens with the family or yourself.
The Full amount is £420 and the deposit is £170 - See the first post for Exped and related info.
