Hi Tengu,
Why not buy some kit that you may need and come along to the next Bucks meet with me and the guys
We've just had a wondeful weekend full of bushcraft action - come and join the fun

Don't let the money burn a hole in your pocket, you can only spend it once.
If it's the seaside I can reccomend SW Ireland. You can fly to Cork for peanuts with Ryanair and see some stunning atlantic coastline, really friendly part of the world too.
NW Spain (Galicia/Asturias - Green Spain, not arid) has fantastic mountains, glorious coast and glorious sunny weather (think idyllic english summer). No tourists. You can fly to Santiago for peanuts again and there is a superb regional rail network. I've wild camped all over and farmers are more interested in having a chat and inviting you back to the house for dinner than telling you to clear off. In fact, to quote one I asked for permission "Camp where you like, no-one bothers about that sort of thing round here"
Me and Mrs Scoops are spending three weeks there in May, £350 for both of us including flights, airport parking and car hire. (Accomodation = tent).
Have a really good trip!

Hmmm, geology and kayaking and bushcraft......come North
Highland boundary fault runs right through the Trossachs, Loch Lomond and the islands are beautiful, legal camping and responsible firelighting too. There are Scottish bushcraft/ Survival schools, and a tracking one too, all available for well under your budget.
Lots of history, archaeology, easy transport links, and if we know you're coming locals will come for a meet up too if you're up for it
Have you had a look at the Song of the Paddle site? Lots of good advice for where to wander by boat on there.
Hope whatever you decide is good.
cheers,
Toddy

Is Ontairio in Cananda?
Only messing!
But, I'm interested in getting to Banff for under 500 quid! I'm keen to do some ice climbing there and haven't found any flights for a reasonable sum. Who did you book through?
I found this and it looks quite good.
Other operators advertise their boats as ones with seats and you dont have to sit on the tubes.
I thought that was part of the fun of a jet boat?
Several people in my village have these boats prominently on their drives; as I said, we are 60 miles from the sea

If it were my money, its nearly $2000, that goes quite a long way in the USA. I'd look at tom browns tracker school. or 'the sacred hunt' course run by past skills?

have fun out there.

I've ice-climbed in the Banff area on several trips. You best bet for a cheap flight is during the ski season, get on one of the ski charter flights into Calgary. If you can hold your nerve you can get mega short-notice deals - I've flown for £99 return before. Have a trip to Norway / Sweden as your back-up plan!
PM me if you want to discuss and maybe borrow a guide book or two. You've probably missed the water-ice / cheap ski flights season now, but there's always the alpine.

Head north. Once you pass Fort William and Inverness there ain't much civilisation and plenty of wilderness and islands.
