WMOC2013

it could be complicated transport wise doing both

hence my suggestion of a saturday night flight. don't you know people who could sort out a Hercules?

Hmm it could be complicated transport wise doing both, I may have to drive to Turin to fly to Scotland

On the other hand it would mean that your transport was waiting for you when you got back to Turin, wouldn't it?

that would be the plan Andy!

Grizzled Lupine One - after so many years of the greatest ever increases in defence spending (GB real terms) we don't have many C130s left and very few spares to keep them flying!

The recent edition of IOF's Inside Orienteering has been mentioned in a different thread already, but it also contains an important article about the Italian WMOC next year too.

See http://www.orienteering.org/edocker/inside-orienteering/2012-4/ for the full monty.

Things have moved on a little since it was written, but the general basis is still pertinent.

Would like to do last day at Scottish and first at WMOC. Has anyone come up with a way to do this?

Presume the fees are still the hefty 190 euros?

From 15 Dec Easyjet offer a LGW-Turin departing Gatwick at 0740 arriving Turin 1030. Latest I can see to get from Inverness to Gatwick on Sat afternoon is currently 1345 departure (with Easyjet). Day 6 is no more than 30 mins drive from Inverness Airport. There is not a lot on offer late on a Saturday out of Scotland. Check what options KLM/AirFrance might offer from Aberdeen once their summer 2013 timetables appear, but it doesn't look hopeful this year cos of the Sat afternoon problem. Find a benefactor to charter from NetJets; a number of their pilots live in Moray!

Many of the flights into Turin are winter only as they cater for the ski season. So, failing Turin, Milan would be a good option although it's a further hour's drive away.

FlyBe have quite a few flights into Milan Malpensa.

Bulletin 2 is a tad behind schedule but has now been published. Those going to Sestriere will no doubt want to see it as soon as possible and can download it from http://www.wmoc2013.it/uploads/Bollettino.pdf

Start lists should be up soon too.
