For future scenarios I'd look VERY seriously at Svalbard.

45 Cdo is based up the road from me in Arbroath. The Arctic and Mountain Warfare cadre operates out of there IIRC.

Once, when working at a summer holiday student job at a Dundee cold store stacking pallets of frozen haddock, I ran into some of these guys at the back of the main cold store. This was summer, so they had decided to put a few guys to camping in there just to get them "acclimatised"...
