    as in personal insurance? No, other than the normal stuff when you go travelling, it's also a good idea to have short term holiday protection insurance in case some circumstance transpires that prevents you (or anyone) from going at short notice.

    I'm going to put up info on deposits, time periods for payment etc very soon.

    The Expeditions themselves are completely covered in all respects when it comes to our insurance cover.

    Here's some possible travel info that we've looked into:

    If you fly:
    STN (stansted) > RYG (Oslo -Rygge) with Ryan air

    And then get express bus/train across to Oslo Gardermoen (I am sure a bunch of grown men travelling together can manage this!) and then get:

    OSL (Oslo-Gardermoen) > BDU (bardufoss) with Norwegian

    You should be able to do it for £163.83
    (+ the price of the transfer across town, which run about every 20mins in and out of the city centre)

    This is just info that we've found out, it's not a definite and it's not anything to do with us

    32 people going? For peace and tranquility in a winter wonderland? Kinda defeats the purpose here imo....

    Must be my time of the month not seeing this, although I love to visit places mentioned in the expedition lists (again....)

    Tony - Given the scale of response we've seen here, are we probably going to look to organise two separate trips?

    I went on one of the unofficial BCUK trips to Norway and thoroughly loved it - I've also met up with BCUK members in Borneo which was good as well. However, I would echo the comment about 32 people in the "wilderness" kind of defeats the point.

    I would also perhaps mention that the equipment needed for this kind of trip is likely to add a fair cost to the expenses. "Arctic" sleeping bags/boots alone can cost silly money if you try and get them new...

    I'll wait for the response to committing myself this time; but if it's half as good as last time, count me in :-)

    Sounds complicated man!
    I hear Ryan Air are mothballing 40% of their planes this winter!?
    Is there going to be a north and south RV,or are we going to try for one RV
    this side or a main RV in Norway or are we not sure yet?
    Thanks again,must be hellish trying to sort this,realy gratefull this end!
    Cheers.

    Hi Ag I've been looking at a variety of Arctic kit deals.
    Two deals I am testing the water with so to speak are N3B Parka's for 44 Euro and Fox Ice boots (Rated to -40) for 33 Euro....

    This is just the first round but I'm putting feelers out there

    Gatwick to Oslo and to BDU for £250-ish with Norwegian - same airport and same airline cuts down on transfer/delay complications. Should have larger baggage allowance I would hope too.

    Birmingham to Oslo and to BDU

    Thats the way I did it but from Heathrow. Very easy smooth trip, great if you dont fly much and on your own. My mate did it the Ryan air / bus way and had a mare, with a few added cancellations and unexpected delays. He got there in the end though and cheaper.
