Extra pay for Burns night? You must be with the Jockanese. Ah well, we'll knock back a couple of vodkas for you (so long as the FSB don't pick us up ).

Good god no not the jockanese , a bunch of ruperts pretending to be scottish and tucking in to ,in my opinion the foulest of foods really quite disgusting . and then theres that stoopid poem an ode to sheeps guts.

I know this may sound a little lame but i`m all packed up with my kit and even managed to get a helmet in my bag, i was wondering if the hotel/motels we`re staying in supply things like towels etc? i`m going to be a bit knackered if i don`t ask this question, don`t bring a towel and find out they are not supplied!!! i really hope they are supplied because i don`t want to trade my helmet bag space for a poxy bath and hand towel

[Reich Crispies]

As advised earlier, I would take minimum kit.
Ergo:
Hat or Helmet
Parka (reversible) or Greatcoat
Wool hose or cammo trousers (reversible)
Gloves
Boots
Belt & Buckle
Y straps
K98 Pouches
Waterbottle if you want
(Bread bag is supplied)

I wouldnt advise anything else, especially your tunic.
If you want to PM me for the reasons regarding this please feel free.

Ive been packed for the last week!

I echo all Neil says.

Taking original kit is up to the individual but remember - if they want to be awkward, they'll take it, and trust me you won't argue!

The advanced party (Mick O'B and me) are packed and ready to roll - we arrive it Helsinki tomorrow, 16.00 hrs local time.

See ya'll there
