Sponsors
CUCC have received much sponsorship over recent years, largely in the form
of Food. Here we detail those who have supported the expedition & how. We
also receive monetary support from a number of grant-giving bodies
Our 1996 sponsors were:
Food:
- Morning Foods
- Mornflake oats: tradition holds that you will have an epic if the porridge doesn't thicken, so a foolproof product is essential. The empty tins have a multitude of uses, and the full ones are good to sit on !
- Schwarz
- Spices: Student cuisine is apt to be monotonous unless livened up a little, so a selection of spices helps keep us all sane.
- Sharwoods
- Noodles: After a hard trip, cavers want food quickly without using too much gas. Noodles are the fastest form of hot carbohydrate, and far superior to soggy rice.
- Shepherdboy
- Sunflower bars: A good mix of simple and complex
carbohydrate to keep energy levels high 'on the hoof'
- Smithkline Beecham Nutritional Healthcare
- Horlicks drink: Tasty, nutritious instant drinks
- Thorntons plc.
- Fudge: Yummy, very high energy cave food for a faster boost to flagging cavers
- Thomas Tunnock Ltd.
-
Tunnock's
Caramel Wafers: Very popular, light, high-energy camp & cave food
- Walkers' Nonsuch Ltd.
- Toffee: Robust. very high energy cave food
- Wander Ltd.
- Ovaltine Options drink: Excellent instant drink
Equipment:
- Terra Nova Equipment.
- Tents: With both Base and Top Camps, an excessive supply of cloth houses is essential. The discount provided on these was very useful. Warning: their website is framed and unusable on many browsers.
