<h1>Sponsors</h1>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>As increasingly impoverished students make up a large proportion of the
|
||
|
|
expedition, which is very far from a "cheap holiday", we are grateful for the
|
||
|
|
sponsorship we have received over recent years.
|
||
|
|
Here we detail those who have supported the expedition & how. We also
|
||
|
|
receive monetary support from a number of grant-giving bodies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>NB This list is a provisional pre-expo list.</b> A more complete list
|
||
|
|
with some more info on how products performed will be on the site soon after
|
||
|
|
the expedition returns in late August.

|
|
<dt>Morning Foods<dd>Mornflake oats: tradition holds that you will have an
|
||
|
|
epic if the porridge doesn't thicken, so a foolproof product is essential.
|
||
|
|
The empty tins have a multitude of uses, and the full ones are good to sit
|
||
|
|
on!

<dt><a href="http://www.seafrance.com/">SeaFrance</a> (<b>Warning:</b> need a
|
||
|
|
browser with all the latest widgets to use this link - not a <i>"best with
|
||
|
|
any browser"</i> site )-:<dd>25% off standard return ferries: last minute
|
||
|
|
organisation often means that you can't do the required jumping through hoops
|
||
|
|
to cross the pond with two day-returns bought on opposite sides, so this
|
||
|
|
discount brings fares at least within sight of the cheapest achievable,
|
||
|
|
saving no end of effort.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>Sharwoods<dd>Sauces and noodles: Student cuisine is apt to be monotonous
|
||
|
|
unless livened up a little, so a selection of stir-in sauces is essential to
|
||
|
|
keep us all sane. Egg noodles are ready quicker than almost any other
|
||
|
|
carbohydrate, which is very welcome when you arrive back late and have
|
||
|
|
to cook in a hurry.

Caramel Wafers</a>: Have proven very popular over all the years that
|
||
|
|
Tunnock's have helped us: light, high-energy camp & cave food.
|

|
||
|
|
<dt>Twinings<dd>Select Blend Tea Bags: Cavers cannot function without tea,
|
||
|
|
and this definitely does the job!

<dt><a href="http://www.gpbatteries.com">GP Batteries</a><dd>The portable
|
||
|
|
battery-powered drill has revolutionised exploration of difficult vertical
|
||
|
|
areas. The technology is demanding of batteries. GP(UK) donated a set of 20
|
||
|
|
18650 4Ah NiMH cells to make a 'second generation' drill battery, which is
|
||
|
|
less than half the size and weight of the previous one, for much the same
|
||
|
|
power. We will be testing NiMHs in this application at the edge of their
|
||
|
|
specifications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt><a href="http://www.tadpole.com">Tadpole Technology</a><dd>J-Slate (for
|
||
|
|
evaluation): The basecamp PC is too big, too heavy, too fragile and needs
|
||
|
|
mains power so a lightweight weatherproof computer for the expedition
|
||
|
|
sharp-end is a very useful innovation, allowing us to run our Tunnel
|
||
|
|
cave-survey software at Top Camp, and to use live GPS-plotting over maps to
|
||
|
|
locate cave entrances.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt><a href="http://www.aleph1.co.uk/">Aleph One Ltd.</a>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Expeditions have come some way since the days of candles in jam jars, and
|
||
|
|
CUCC uses computers for the cave surveying and documentation (eg. this
|
||
|
|
website). With the J-slate we will have several computers this year, so we
|
||
|
|
need a network too. Aleph One loaned the expedition network hub, as well as
|
||
|
|
providing workshop facilities for a variety of other gizmos such as radios
|
||
|
|
and GPS units.
