Comms will only be as good as the phone signal though and a lot of sites suffer from poor signal due to location.

Hi from a fellow Sussex member, Only started playing this year at my local site Driver Wood, so can't add anything regarding the list of sites already mentioned.

Cheers yeah, we're out there which is the main thing, like you say. Definitely making sure my lad keeps some medication in his kit. The new medication seems to be working better and faster, which means should it happen again, he should hopefully be OK for the next game if it happens again. Oh dear, never mind, did you have a pox party to spread the love and let others get it over and done with? We're looking to go to get to Epsom tunnels soon, torches will have to be bought, but tempted to pop my digital night vision scope on for a laugh, probably overkill for CQB, but might have the sneak factor. I bought two tone, as knew we'd be making use of them, regardless, but got my UKARA in May, just have to try to save up for more RIFs and possibly offload an air rifle or 2 to go into the pot, but they'll be advertised on the appropriate platforms once I decide which to sell.

@Dan Robinson, shame to have missed you, my lad and I were orange team too ... can see the enemy through 30' of foliage, but not someone 5' away! My lad and I went for the afternoon, we got separated while going through the woods to try to flank the other team, he ended up lost for about 10 minutes trying to find his way back into play and we only caught up with each other back at the safe zone. I tagged along with a sniper and together we flanked round to near 1 of the towers, the sniper got tucked down in the undergrowth on the opposite side of the track to me, where he had a line of sight more towards the tower and my blindside, but could also swing round to his right, where I was covering 1 of the paths enemy players would be using to get to the tower, I was also able to cover behind us, in case their players tried flanking us or just happened up that way. Together we got a few kills and then I noticed an enemy player in the tower, so went for him. The sniper then shouted hit and a few moments later, I felt something on my jacket, unsure if it was a twig or BB, I decided to call it, walking back, we went right through the enemy team, so after respawn, we knew where to go and worked our way up, both hit again, respawned and went back to same are, where we, now with a 3rd team member eliminated those players. all too soon, the game was over though. Unfortunately, when we got back to the safe zone and caught up with my lad, he wasn't looking right and said he had a migraine coming on and he'd forgotten to bring some medication with him (I'll make sure he has some for next time), so he wanted to call it a day, but he did enjoy his game and managed a few kills too. Will be good to meet up with others and I'll keep an eye out Dan, or any others on here if you're playing when down this way.

Was a good game, have to agree. We'll have to remember his migraine medication for next time though. I'll keep an eye out for your post.

Only just seen your message Dan, We got there for the afternoon games, can't say I noticed you, was looking out for your patch though. We only managed 1 game in the end, as my lad got a migraine and had forgotten his medication. At least I know the Maple Leaf 275mm 6.03mm barrel and 70* hop rubber I fitted has helped flatten the trajectory and close up my grouping, just got to decide it the G&G CM16 Raider is worth spending the money on to try to quieten the gearbox, or keep it as a back up/loaner

The site has free wifi in the safe zone, but doubt it extends over the whole 30 acre site. will have to see what normal signal is like, although I've noticed in general, mobile signal has reduced and since Virgin Mobile changed to O2, the signal is even worse, however, I'll give the app a try. Don't worry, I'd rather call a hit, even if not 100% sure about and like I've told my lad, if you've been pinned in 1 area, at least you can try a different route/area after respawning.

They use the Ares Alpha app, which I've downloaded, but he's hesitant, maybe because his previous phone was useless, but he got my old one when I upgraded a couple of months ago, so is much newer and has more memory etc

I'll be decked out in Jack Pyke woodland camo plus DPM booney hat and mag pouches. My lad is usually black jacket and olive vest, now sporting a shotgun pouch on the back, both with two tome M4. We start the games together, but he doesn't want to use the radios, so no idea where each other ends up after our first separate respawns

Too busy sometimes, but it's the wife I feel sorry for, especially during school holidays! We're looking to go Monday too, was hoping to have a look round the boot sale, but school uniform and supplies come first, so just the afternoon session, as he can't cope with a full day yet, but never know, may get him there in time.

Hi all, Got into airsoft properly this year, because my oldest lad wanted to start, although I had a few airsoft pistols back in the '90s, they ended being sold/traded within a few years to concentrate on my airgun shooting. Overall, I've been shooting for 35 years, including qualifying as an airgun shooting coach, however, since that certain bug a few years ago, my air gunning has taken a back seat to my other hobbies, although I still have access to an 8.5acre woodland. Currently we just have our 2 tone AEGs, but we'll be looking to build our collection, only been to Driver Wood Activity Centre to date, although Dogtag is as close. My lad suffers with a few health issues, and sometimes finds it hard going in a woodland setting, so wants to try an indoor CQB site, looks like the closest is at Epsom, so will look at going there when the weather turns again & the ground gets too wet for him. My other hobbies include freshwater and beach fishing, outdoor activities, 4x4 driving and amateur (ham) radio, so you could say I've been socially distancing, before it became popular. With 5 kids and a patient wife, my spare time has to be divided between them all, their own hobbies, as well as mine.
