… is more than necessary issue, and in many occasions will become boring. Be willing, please, to obey the below mentioned rules and thus choose the lesser of two evils.
- Use your common sense when in the field.
- Do not put yourself at any kind of risk.
- Do not show off. Always keep low profile.
- Follow instructions of lecturers.
- Bear in your mind the Safety and Security Rule – following rules is strength, not weakness.
- Means of transportation: two nine-seat minibuses Ford Tranzit with storage space
- Boarding & lodging: Old-fashioned mountain lodge; full board (open fire kitchen)
- Outdoor equipment: Bring your own hiking boots, raincoat and flashlight. Other necessary equipment is provided. High heels not recommended…
- Admission & pocket money: The admission of EUR 500 covers boarding & lodging, transport, lecturing and fees. Your pocket money should therefore cover your extra expenses only (souvenirs, beer etc.). Please bear in mind that extra food is provided for health reasons only.
