I have exp with Chiselhurst, I have had two great days going solo. Team are welcoming and it's easy to hookup with other players in team to slot in. Games were good and challenging. Players being players sometimes they can be slow to get to where required. But that is a player issue.... Only questionable point is lack of plumbing so be sure to take plenty of water. Worth a look and easy for us on the public transport. Mayhem - the Abridge one, depending on how much kit you carry is only two miles (ish) from the nearest tube station. I walked there and got a can back.... If you are willing to spend a little (🤣) on trains there are a few in sites "walking" distance from some Hertfordshire towns, they are one the list Welcome to the hobby.

How about this dreamer? Sure it is "new" but two tone....in exchange for a bolty...oh and extra gas for better bolty.... Madness

Went to The Gaol, Oakham for a private game at the weekend, the ARABS FB crew. I understand why it was on my "must visit" list. If you get the opportunity, go, do a game day. The admin block makes a fine safezone didn't hear a single dry fire (again didn't expect to-private day). Safety brief was to the point, expansive and humourous, Justin's "my playground, my rules" were always safety and play based. Crono: in jules....my BB slinger apparently shit itself at some point and wouldn't work. Thankfully my brother brought his spare- other wise I would have been on pistol all day (more on that later) Games, were "fun" let me expand - the long game they play is very much you get better the more you play, but I guess that's the same everywhere. I did really like the maps with objectives and timings for everyone, that makes a new to site player feel real welcomed. Back to long game - the stretcher they use is bloody heavy! Like, let's not bother with this for the whole morning heavy. We did move it to a kill zone just in case the blues did think about it. Inside, well, it was my first real cqb site and I have maybe played too many horror games 😂 all good fun, except g block, fuck that. But seriously amazing site, very well marshaled AND A MEATBALL ROLL FOR LUNCH! Best included grub at an Airsoft site ever. There were times I did in fact just run around with a pistol. For no other reason than I wanted to (long rifle was other option...) and I loved it. The new rig is great (arkus para style) and I didn't loose a mag for the 226, I did drop one right at the end of the day....new feed lips required. Over all a stunning day with the drive back being filled with nothing but smiles and a cheeky harvester for dinner. As we left my brother (who drove up from Portsmouth) was doing the maths on how early he would need to get up for the next trip up 🤣. Would 100% go again given half a chance.

£5 strap replacement kit from blacks.... It's one of the least glamorous on this thread but I now have a thigh strap that fits an adult on my dpm holster....

Continuing my trend of reviving threads.... Top service with double checking the postal address (as different from billing) quickly sent out and the only place to have f226 mags for under £25. So back up to three mags until I loose another one

This is a random case I found at work for one of those fold out ads.... Foam is out of someones front garden..... Can't decide if this is peak thrift or maximum poors trying to Airsoft .. He'll, it works and I like it that will do.

Another mag, to replace the lost one and some actual silicone grease for a leaky mag that has taken new o'rings and new valve and still hissing...FML....

So, happy new year and all that bs I am lucky to be playing at the Gaol at the end of the month and find I also have the Sunday free....so, Between the Gaol and London who can recommend a site? +Woodland/urban +Not cqb heavy +Not warzone (it would be my go to but the game is Saturday that weekend 😭) And go... Shortlist so far is mwa and rift coms 3- should I just toss a coin or are there other sites I need to consider?

Warzone near Coventry do a Saturday skirmish game once a month I think. Next one is the 28 Jan... Also Holy tread revel Batman Did you get out anywhere @C-Diddy

A 'technical' building brick mp5... A building brick ghost (star wars rebels) and Slave 1..... I did show here the cyma ak and isc g33 but no joy this time, still happy with the haul as I am for yours @DaktariT

Wait, that's a real number, it's not just a hypothesis?

Water/hydration!

This is more than fair enough, and I am well aware of the issues that spring from it. Thank you for the poignant comments. As to badges, well I'd use an old reg that doesn't exist ( Cornwall rifles) anymore, or just not wear a badge. This would be for specific games or if a number of us were all at same site. It did sure feel great to be stomping through a site with a team in similar/unit kit. It was a larpsoft event, so on the Sunday morning when 4 (older) lads in full late 80's 2para kit with appropriate weaponry Inc support gunner, there were looks from PMC thinking they were going to get a harder day. My brother did order the wrong green beret...it was mentioned a number of times and he did look very sheepish for it... Anyway. @Tackle Hope you are having a better day, yesterday sounded like a rough one.

Does it bring you joy? Will it bankrupt you? After my larp soft event I really wanted to start a full Pathfinder Para 2 load out - but the accompanying thought was "yeah, but how many times will you actually use it?" As such the whole loadout went to the dream list. But I have just been gifted a arktus para style chest rig and I found a dpm holster.....now I am looking at suitable maron berets..... It's ok, it's not just you

Not even DPM, what's the point

I bagged a pistol on here for a bargain, WE f226, 3 mags £60. If you are patient, I'm sure more bargains will appear, I had a blast using it for the first time, had my favourite kills of the weekend. Do ensure that you are happy with holster.... This sounds like justification of an addiction....let's ignore the fact that I am currently hunting down another pistol....

4. Depends on what you call south... There are a ton of places to go, but does very much depend on your willingness to trek. For example near Portsmouth there is the ucap bunker & green ops, ambush (botley) south coast cqb, and battle zone. Where as Kent, and close, has imperium, ace combat, ambush (a different one) camo raids cqb, driver wood. These are just a taste as thankfully we have a few great options down here. Personally I play at Mayhem (Essex/ Thadon Bois), red1 Chislehurst more often than not. But then I am public transport bound.... Also, welcome

Map of thunder Park The execution of an eco terrorist by Team Sovereign OIC And team Sovereign at endex on Sunday

Location location location. Name Thunder Park -TPA to locals Postcode: I have a map somewhere.... Yes it is far from my normal grounds, however well worth it for the 60 odd hours I was on site for. This is predominantly a site review and the game details will go in to the A.R.A.B.S. event page I made. The Basics: Amazing! Narrow, yet parts left unexplored. Solid game structures, both the village and Sword Base were a pleasure to fight through, well ... It is Cornwall, so not flat. That being said even the hills had plenty of cover, be that ferns or sparse woodlands. This lead to some really interesting firefights as I have not had to deal with that for a while. I can see why it is so popular for skirmish days. Plumbed toilets and a flat top cooker if you want food, £3.5 for what I saw was a decent sized burger. The safe zone itself, well, that is a work in progress as they have a small covered area - I get the feeling using the car park and operating from the car is a normal thing. Owner/marshals were amazing. Barbra (owner) cooks lunch for you, the marshals know there stuff. Sit down for the next bit.... Crono opened on time, was operated by two marshals - measuring in Jules - with BB weight and recorded against player band number.... Safety brief used actual marshals to show distance or that marshal is 30m that marshal is 20m this is what 10m looks like, *this* is what we mean by blind firing.... I think this site is very much a growing gem, sword base is new and they have plans to revamp the site over the winter months clearing a couple of spots and making more areas of play. All that being said I still didn't get to some of the site as it was held strongly against us. If given the excuse to be down that way again, I would definitely play there again.

Full review incoming, but for now.... Wow, what an amazing two days of larpsoft!

Strange, the two people shouting the praises haven't been back on this thread to tell us how wrong we were..... Also as a point of order, if your head marshal "takes a tumble" that needs hospital....what kinda site are you using?!

I hear the AA is also a clone of the TM, so you have access to the R32 extended mag (£20 instead of £34)

Red1 Chislehurst is a great site. Easy enough to slip into a fire team each game if you are going solo. I just rock a 35lt back pack and a gun bag. Am not waving the toys around. Be sensible and you'll be fine. The buses that time of day you'll be ok sat down so it's only on your back for a short time. Be aware that there is no drinking water on site, so you will need to factor that in to your packing. Especially on hot days. There is a hot water urn with tea and terrible coffee (I take my own coffee bags....) Good marshals where they are still trying to grow the game range and try new things, which I like. The villages are nice and tight spaces with too many corners. Yeah, I don't get there enough.

At this point it also needs a bed, running water and something to cook on and it is several problems solved at once
