aitapata, I know I won't raise a lot of founds for that kind of trip for charity but I surely know that I found a lot of volonteers ...

Hello everyone!

Thanks for all your messages...
Firstly, the trip is taking place in the Swedish Arctic region for eight days - there will be approx 15 of us not including the instructors etc..however there will be a survival element to the trip, which I guess is the challenge (as well as the harsh climate as well).

Timings - It's an 8 day trip, was due to be happening in February 2009 but I have decided to put it back to 2010 for a couple of reasons, but by doing this I can only raise more money for the charity. Hurrah!

Penelopeia - I can't handle heat very well at all...I wish I could! Hoping to fare better in the Arctic with the right equipment...

Hive - I'm a size 8! PS, blagging strategies eh?

Al-Aura - Cheers, will check that out

Masque - ta for the advice!

Motley Hippie - it's a good plan, I'm currently contacting companies to see who will donate kit etc

FatOigeon - Cheers!

Mean Old Man - great advice there. PS - encore!

Thanks Wayfarer for posting the link, the group will be changed due to the rescheduling of the trip, will update with details and as WF points out this is for info purposes only...!

Hope that covers everything...

I recommend spending a month training at Ft. Drum, NY.. units from Alaska do cold weather training there..

Excellent idea - it's been a while since I've headed over to 'the other side'...

There will be some compulsory training prior to the trip itself, I keep my fingers crossed that it will be on that scale ^^
