    It goes without saying I'm already there.

    Lethal, flights cost me abouve 160 + 20 for 'firearms charge', train (1st class with wifi and food) approx 50, and 90 for the event. Accommodation is variable so that's at your own discretion. That said, Sweden is not the cheapest of countries out there ... cheap in some respects, not in others.

    If you already have the gear you could do if for 500-600 quid. Definitely going again though. And going Nato(Wormbytes commander). That will be the best team next year def.

    I'd love to go to crossroads, but not sure if there is enough time to organise it. Berget 6 was excellent, but it was a bit too hot, september would definatly be nice.
    I'm going to berget 7, but we are definatly shipping stuff over, It was a pain to carry all our gear. I'd like to be able to ship our own tent with a few additional things.

    Did you get a pallet for 6? Did you have enough for a conatainer? If we could get enough lads to split it shouldn't be too steep.

    I carried over 47kilos of gear. ***At a 20 kilogram baggage allowance and 10 euros per kilos over I plan to simply send my stuff over next year.

    That and the realisation that I was carrying over half my bodyweight constant. And I'm not a big guy.

    *** We didn't get charged(well I didn't) but it was a possibility. I also came back with 27.

    The reason there was no pallet shipping this year was because I was getting quoted nutty prices. And I mean nutty*. But that may have been down to talking with the freight companies. One place suggest I speak with 'removal' companies and the like who would specialise in moving joe-soap's stuff about rather than pallets and containers.

    I think for next year, certain things (like food - which surprisingly adds a lot of weight) I'll order and pick up at that airsoft shop in Stockholm.


    * Just in case nobody appreciates just how nutty nutty can get, we're talking four-digit figures for a single, not-terribly-large pallet.

    count me in for next year as well. shipping the gear is the way to go as lugging all that stuff around is a real pain.

    id actually be very interested in the september event

    however since its only 300 places, means it could be manic registration.

    I know neil (cheeky) is interested in going and the estimated number crunch is 330 euro excluding accomodation.

    But this includes return flights, firearms fee ( aeg's count as firearms) and train.

    I'd be interested to see if a list of people develops before then before i weigh up my options.

    Think we also need to allow more time before and after the event for travel, Idealy we should be able to spend a night in hanasand before the game starts to get stuff organised, And going to get a later flight back, rushing to the airport at 7am was a pain.
    we have plently of time to organise stuff,(probably not enough time to get fit)

    Well technically we did spend a night in Harnosand before the game started. But we're in no way guaruanteed to be playing in the same place as last year. Previous years have been much further outside Harnosand town.

    I would have like to have spent more time in Stockholm though. Beautiful city!

    The price for a pallet with around 300 KG of gear shouldent be more than 400-500 EURO.

    Check with DHL.

    One of the guys from the desk had to come up into my room to shake me awake. I slept through the phone call, him banging on my door and him standing beside me telling me I missed my wakeup call. Very, very good beds.

    That may have something to do with the amount of alcohol you had the night before though :P or the come down of all the Energy bars.
