Sponsors
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. We also receive monetary support from a number of
grant-giving bodies.
We'd like to thank the following companies for their generous support of the 2004 expedition:
- Thomas Tunnock Limited, who have
offered to supply us with a large quantity of Tunnocks Bars.
- Quaker Oats, who have provided us
with plenty of Oatso-Simple, staple of top camp breakfasts.
- 3M, makers of an exceptionally good type
of reflective tape which we use for marking cairns on the plateau, so they are
visible when walking at night with torches.
- Curtec, who make
the distinctive white-and-red plastic drums that so many cavers use (usually
known, for no discernible reason, as 'Daren drums').
- Peli, who have offered us a selection of
their indestructible plastic cases, which are popular among cavers for carrying
cameras and other delicate objects underground.
