I prefer Mall any day even with the drive. But then locations depend on if you have access to a car (opens up a LOT more sites if your prepared to drive 90 mins and wheter you want to play woodland or CQB (not so much choice down this way for local CQB except Bunker or The Mall). But otherwise welcome to the forums and hopefully see you through my red dot one time 7 hours ago, EDcase said: 'Absolute Airsoft' is near 'The Mall' in Reading if you want to do woodland in that area. Not the best in game types but nice and cheap at £20 (walkon) including a hot dog for lunch. Would be great knowing so many place, but we don't have a car :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Not having transport is a serious disadvantage. The best places are worth travelling too and with the equipment you need taking public transport/trains is doable but not something I would like to do. The Mall in Reading is right next to the train station and easy to get too from London, theres a couple of the old regulars who took trains there. Other than that all the woodland sites are a pain unless you drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The place I play does a prebooked pickup service from the local train station to the site. I'm sure they charge a small fee but cheaper than a taxi. I do see some people walking in too but it's a fair old walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiercel Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Im in south london, normally play at the Mall, or Iron Site near Basingstoke. Both really difficult to get to without a car (ok the Mall probably isnt that hard but its a ballache getting into central london for a train to Reading from where I live, it'd be like a 2-3 hour trip each way compared to a 1hr drive). Theres also TWA in Croydon/New Addington, I've been there a few times, probably wont go again. Theres a few sites further south towards Guildford and Kent that Ive been meaning to try at some point too. But the summary is, without a car its awkward! Theres a few CQB sites in London but whether theyre actually any good or not I dont know. Ive not been to Bunker51, Ive been put off by the cost. Might go some day. But I'm not keen on the idea of paying £25 for 2-3 hours, I want a full day of airsofting for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Can get a day at Dorking or Dragons lair for that price and have so much more fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshOnSnow Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 If you hop on the northbound train from Kings X, there are 2 new sites to RIFT Airsoft: Harmergreen Wood at Knebworth, and The Village at Royston - I'm sure you'd be able to get lifts from the stations. There's a Royston one on the 21st this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? its just over an hours drive for me (north london) and google says a train takes about the same.. Will actually add this to my sites to visit this year as its well within my range. as a rule I wont travel more than 90 mins by car for a skirmish as its too much being the driver spending 2 hours in the car, playing and then 2 hours home....

Supporters Prisce Posted January 5, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 5, 2018 Unfortunately RIFT Harmer Green may be no more. Disputes with the land owner mean it’s useage is up for discussion. The Village in Royston isn’t a new site, it’s a paintball site Tony leases every now and then. Also, bear in mind if you are looking to go, book about 10 days in advance, it’s sold out every event in less than 2 days so far! If you are coming north of the M25, drop me a line and we shall try meeting up with you! We are at AP this Sunday, going to try the Gaol next Sunday hopefully.
