I can pm you my terms and conditions......I could happily cope with the camping aspect of the trip and the temperatures etc, unfortunately I'd fail at the walk in humping kit, any chance of hiring a couple of Sherpa's for the next one?
basically with work for tea.....
I can see this trip getting a bit bigger next time....
Just organise one with a bunch of mates from around your neck of the woods/Meets.
Check here and elsewhere online for kit - either new or Army surplus the choice is yours.
Arrange Meets where kit is checked and used, go over your aims for the trip.
Cheap flights all the time to Norway.
Google earth is your friend when scouting out an area, then buy maps on line.

A couple of us from Suffolk Group have been speaking about it for a fair few months, so have been watching the threads with interest..
.And been getting a few good tips.
Off to annoy the Sussex bunch this weekend - well, I need to dry out my tent Conditions look perfect too. Think I'll take along my some Calvados, seeing as you guys didn't enjoy it! (I don't think they're ready for the Thai Red Cock, Thong or Chinese Pagoda stuff yet.................)

Come to a Midlands meet and we'll have a natter over a cup of coffee or in the evening tall tales will be told over a Cider
To save anyone else having to google Lomper, here is a description and recipe
The "recipe" in that blogg is not complete.
Lomper (aka Stomp, potetkak, lefse, buss).
1/2 kg boiled peeled potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
approx 1 1/2 dl flourmix( 1/2 dl wheat flour + 1/2 dl rye flour + 1/2 dl barley flour)
1 Mash the potatoes together with the salt while the potatoes are still hot.
2. Let the potatoe mash cool down.
3 Mix the flour and the potatoe mash.
4 Roll out the dough to 3 millimeter thick "plates" that is about 15 cm in diameter.
5 Use a frying pan with a flat bottom. Roast the "plates" in the pan till they are finished (use no butter, oil or fat, the pan must be dry, cast iron pans give the best result). To check if the pan is hot enough, sprinkle some flour in it, if the flour turns golden brown, the pan is hot enough).
6 Flipp the lompe around in the pan several times during the roasting.
It can be a very difficult dough to work with, and sometimes it becomes very "short", meaning it is difficult to roll out. Different types of potato gives different kind of dough.
Enjoy!

... looks like we could be contacting you for pointers....
Do you have an idea why the Mora handle broke? Was it the cold or was the batoning too heavy and it would have broken in summertime as well?
