@@ -13,75 +13,14 @@ 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>
We'd like to thank the following companies for their generous support of the 2003 expedition.</p>
<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.
<img alt="---&gt;" src="../../../icons/lists/1.png">
<a href="http://www.tunnock.co.uk/">Thomas Tunnock Limited</a>, who provided us with a generous supply of their Caramel Bars, as well as some extremely stylish T-shirts.<br />
<img alt="---&gt;" src="../../../icons/lists/1.png">
<a href="http://www.gcosta.co.uk/">G. Costa &amp; Co.</a>, 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.<br>
<p><h3>Our 1999 sponsors were:</h3><BR>
Food:<BR>
<dl compact>
<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.
<dt>Thomas Tunnock Ltd.<dd>
<a href="http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_sa/socs/tunnock/">Tunnock's
Caramel Wafers</a>: Have proven very popular over all the years that
Tunnock's have helped us: light, high-energy camp &amp; cave food.
<dt>Twinings<dd>Select Blend Tea Bags: Cavers cannot function without tea,
and this definitely does the job!
</dl>
<p>We also received discount (contract pricing) on gear from:
<dl>
<dt>BCB International<dd>
<dt>Cotswold Outdoor <a href="http://www.cotswold-outdoor.co.uk/">(framed site)</a><dd>
<dt>Field &amp; Trek <a href="http://www.field-trek.co.uk/">(framed site)</a><dd>
<dt>Westler Foods<dd>Wayfarer Meals
</dl>
Equipment:<br>
<dl compact>
<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.
