I’m up North currently, Manchester area. The sites I referenced as not being overly impressed were The Mill and Anzio Camp, both being run by FAO. Neither were ‘bad’ to the point of never wanting to return, but definitely not ‘good’ enough for them to be a site I attend regularly.

Dagger Woods is the woodland site I immediately fell in love with, and Level 2 is the site I’m most looking forward to trying whenever that ends up being possible. Both run by the same company, so fingers crossed its run similarly to Dagger Woods.

That seems like reasonable grounds to not want to return, especially if you’re buying parts and fitting them yourself. I ended up putting in an order yesterday, not being able to go and do anything over the festive period courtesy of restrictions and an entirely unexpected end of year bonus combined perfectly for a late Christmas present to myself. I’ll definitely bookmark Rainbow8, I can see how customising these things gets addictive.

@alxndrhll Ah! Yes FAO, not the best of companies. I too have the same feelings over Anzio. Not a bad site but the running of seems to lack a little, I also found the lead marshall quite unphased, almost like he didn't really want to be there.

I'm over the hills from you in Derbyshire but do intend on making the trip over to Level2 as well as I agree it looks amazing. I'm lucky this side and have The Dept and recently opened ProjectX & Skirmish CQB to play at (when they're open).

The hi-capa slope is long and slippery! Whatever you do, don't keep a note of how much you spend lol

Just feels very much like a case that they've been around for a long time and have their way of doing things. If you like that way, all power to you. Anzio for me was just over use of the same buildings, every game felt like it was playing out the same irrelevant of what 'the objective' was. Can't say I personally had any issues with the marshalls, though I'm not generally a fan of volunteer marshalls that tag in and out of playing/marshalling.

I'm definitely hoping to do some travelling around myself once that's something we can do so hopefully we'll run into each other at some point!

Haha, by some miracle I've managed to land within budget on the initial build. I suspect I'll want an advanced frame at some point but very much going to 'run it till it breaks' as it comes to me and then tinker from there. Only things I'm eyeing up replacing in the near-ish future would be the grip screws and hammer, but that's definitely a cosmetic thing over anything else.
