+We'd like to thank the following companies for their generous support of the 2003 expedition.

NB This list is a provisional pre-expo list. 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. +---> +Thomas Tunnock Limited, who provided us with a generous supply of their Caramel Bars, as well as some extremely stylish T-shirts.
+---> +G. Costa & Co., UK distributors of Blue Dragon Instant Noodles; these are a staple food for expedition high camps, and the generous donation of 900 servings of noodles was a major help in keeping our food costs under control.

Our 1999 sponsors were:

Morning Foods
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! - -
SeaFrance (Warning: need a -browser with all the latest widgets to use this link - not a "best with -any browser" site )-:
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. - -
Sharwoods
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. - -
Thomas Tunnock Ltd.
-Tunnock's -Caramel Wafers: Have proven very popular over all the years that -Tunnock's have helped us: light, high-energy camp & cave food. - -
Twinings
Select Blend Tea Bags: Cavers cannot function without tea, -and this definitely does the job! - -

We also received discount (contract pricing) on gear from: -

BCB International
-
Cotswold Outdoor (framed site)

GP Batteries
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. - -
Tadpole Technology
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. - -
Aleph One Ltd. -
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.
