    Tony , with regards to the
    •Advanced Arctic course - Feb/March 2012

    Is doing the 'basic' course a required stipulation? Or can Someone pitch up and do this without the previous course???

    I was hoping to do the basic in 2012 too, just couldn't afford it this year, hope that is still on or they allow newbies on the advanced.

    Nambia looks good.
    Due to my current location, I'm not really up for messing about in the arctic...
    If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

    Canoeing in Sweden or trekking in Norway sounds very tempting.

    For anyone else interested in Arctic Fun ( Basic of Advanced in 2012 ) I've received an answer back to my query.


    "Hi Becky, with regards to the

    .Advanced Arctic course - Feb/March 2012


    Is doing the 'basic' course a required stipulation? Or can Someone
    pitch up and do this without the previous course??? So in short is it a
    pre-requistive to have done the other course??

    Many Thanks

    TeeDee"

    "Hi Teedee

    Many thanks for your email. No its not a requirement. They will be running
    back to back though so people can do both. You will get a discount if you
    sign up for both. Cost is still to be confirmed

    Kind regards
    Rebecca"



    So it seems that they are catering for students who wish to do JUST the basic, Students who wish to do JUST the Advanced and Students who wish to do BOTH.

    But I do read the reply as the Basic course IS required for entrance onto the Advanced. ( Anyone else read it that way? )

    Just had another reply.

    "Hi Tee Dee

    Sorry if I have confused you. You can do either course without doing the
    other. So yes. You can do the advanced without having done the basic.

    Regards
    Rebecca"

    So there you have it.

    Just wanted to register my potential interest in all of these - including the doubled-up Arctic courses.

    Can we get some details ( when possible , no rush, it is after 2012! ) for the differences between the instruction of the Basic Arctic Course and The Advanced Arctic Course?

    Many Thanks.

    ...That would be very usefull ! I think I read that there would be a higher fitness level required ? Maybe more snow trecking and setting up camp rather than returning to
    'base', as it were ! I realy fancy this, the basic was fantastic, a step up from that would be a great adventure and challenge!

    I am very interested in the 2012 arctic expedition (basic course - not the advanced one) and will have 2 others possibly also. Let me know when we can pay the deposit and sign up - it would be great to have as much notice as possible on this.

    keep me in the loop - i will try to keep my eye on the new threads!
    thanks,

    I'd be very interested in dates and details for both Arctic courses next year.

    I have bookings starting to come in for 2012 and once I take a booking I will honour it.

    If I know the dates I can start to ring-fence them so that I definitely have the time free. It would be nice to make sure we have a good take up next year.

    I'm sure I'm not the only person that has to start planning things like this sooner rather than later.
