OK so looking at this a bit more seriously from my point of view and starting with a simple one - is it worth coming without a car?
I've never done any cold winter stuff before either so I don't have any winter gear, how serious do you all take it? I'm going to check back on the photos from last year but it looks like it could get expensive if I buy everything that is suggested for -10 to -15 temperatures while digging BMWs out of ditches.
Flights from Birmingham to Oulu via Helsinki are possible, around 330 Euros equivalent return which I would be prepared to eat. I still like the idea of buying a car but if I have to spend a fortune on clothing then it just won't be possible. Leave for me would be easy as we're a small team, leave refreshes in the new year so nobody books the following year generally and I can just call it now.
