Expedition Confirmed & Flight Details

All,

Thanks for getting back to me with booking details and deposits. I’ve submitted a group booking form to KE and have spoken with them to confirmed our booking from 1st – 8th September (http://www.keadventure.com/trip/details/dates.php?r=88). Also the team is now 6 with George Crawford, a good friend of Tim’s, confirming his place as of last week.

So time to book the flights…
I will arrange a bus/taxi’s to take us from Geneva to Argentier leaving around 3:00pm on Saturday 1st Sept. Allowing a max of 2hrs transfer this should get us to the lodge with time to get ourselves organized for the next days walking. On the 8th the KE package finishes after breakfast and will therefore arrange transport to pick us up around 12 noon getting us to the airport around 1.30 / 2pm

At the moment return flights from London range from £65 (easyjet) to £100 (BA), this includes tax etc… Can I suggest you opt for the BA flight (see details below). This allows those coming from Edinburgh to connect and will ensure we all arrive in Geneva at the same time. Once you have tickets sorted can you send me an email to let me know including flight details if they differ from below.

Apart from the final payment to KE (£1199) in mid June that’s it until September. I have attached a Kit list and if you have any questions on the trip or kit required just give me a call. We’ll look to sort out drinks and maybe some walking before the big trip so look forward to seeing you all then if not before.

James
