Done this trip a couple of times in a Longranger and Squirrel. It would be a fantastic experience but if you do change your mind, check carefully the availability of Avgas. A good route takes you via Toronto, Val d'or, Grand Riviere, Kujuack, Iqaluit (Frobisher Bay) Greenlandair helipad near the mouth of Sondrestromfjord, Nuuk, Narsasuak and and Kulusuk. BUT there's a 410nm leg from there to Reyjavik. Thereafter its all downhill - Vagar (Faroes) - Scotland etc.
I think you're better off carrying extra fuel and a lot of survival kit than another pilot.
However, its probably getting a bit late to set up for this year.
