This is a large woodland site with various play areas and game types ranging from short high energy games to longer waypoint or mission based games, it doesn't currently run milsim events though so if you are looking to play solidly without returning to the safe zone except for tea and stickies after the war is won and the sun has set it may not be for you. It does however have some amazing fields set up; the SAM site being my favourite at the moment.... which may change when they get the helicopter set up in another field! 
They also run night games roughly once a month over the summer with really well thought out lighting so it allows for sneaky-beaky still but stops the falling over tree stumps that happens in unlit fields. They have put filters on the lights now too which stops them dazzling attacking forces. Game days are fortnightly (ish) and it costs currently £25 for the full day with lunch included. The organisers are very friendly and the marshalling has improved massively this last year with focus on those that think they are bullet proof or better than they actually are to ensure fair fire-fights and happy customers. The last few months have seen player numbers increase and we regularly have over 100 people playing, most I've seen was around 150.
Today's skirmish we had around 120 players, we also had "Airsoft Action" magazine visit for the day too. When arriving everyone signs in, finds a place to set up (in the newly improved and enlarged covered table areas in the safe zone, all guns are chrono'd and tagged and then you are given a bit of time to get all your kit sorted out. The safety brief was carried out covering all the bases you'd expect from a woodland site.
Normally the first game is more of a warm up to get us all in the zone, today was no exception but due to the numbers we were split into 4 teams (2x red teams and 2x blue teams). 1x red and 1x blue team went off to the VX Gas field and the other 2 went to the Black Box field, on each field each team fought from both ends, once the 2 rounds of each game was completed we swapped fields with the other 2 teams. When it was our turn on the VX Gas field my HPA G5 DMR stopped feeding BBs half way through so I popped back to the safe zone to grab my Evo 3 AEG for the second half. The VX Gas game is quite an energetic game if you want it to be but can also be quite tactical too and the side we were playing against absolutely annihilated us on points due to some really good use of smoke grenades, I was doing pretty good at holding my own while using the DMR but suffered a bit switching to the Evo so utilised my TAG grenades and shower grenades to good effect but unfortunately we lost the second half too, All good fun though
After a quick turn around in the safe zone to reload etc we all went back into the Blackbox field and played a very quick turnaround game to decide who would be attacking or defending the final game of the day, again there were 2 rounds swapping ends at half time, here we got our own back for the previous game and managed to secure the objective on both halves. There was some really good fire-fights going on and I really enjoyed the game play
As we won that game the next meant we had to defend the SAM site, the attackers had to find a briefcase with a timer fitted to it and plant it in the SAM launcher, unfortunately they didn't stand a chance, we really dominated them holding them back effectively until the last 15min where there was no re-spawn so we fell back into tighter defensive positions and held them off for the rest of the game. I unfortunately got shot out with around 7min to go by a team mate (shot in the back of my ear lobe - ouch! lol).
During this game my Evo began to have feed problems too, thankfully I don't live too far from the site so scooted off home at lunch and picked up my trusty RM4. The RM4 is an amazing gun, I'm not saying it has as good range as my DMR but it massively out ranges my Evo 3 (which isn't too shabby for range/accuracy either)! I just about had time to throw some pizza in me gob and swig some coke after reloading all the M4 mags and it was time to go out again.
Due to us winning the earlier objective on the Blackbox field we were now the attacking force on a waypoint game which was pretty bloody epic to say the least. Considering we had 60 people on our side all with differing experience at playing airsoft we all worked very well together, everyone was very communicative and pointed out contacts as they saw them, we were pretty aggressive too in making progress, there were times where it felt like we were advancing as a whole unit in a long line through the woodland taking out the enemy as we progressed, kerflippin awesome it was! We made good time pushing them back and to victory allowing us to input the security code into the missile launcher and watch it fire across the valley (or that is what would have happened had there not been a slight technical hic-up which turned the rocket into more of a Catherine Wheel than the fearful missile it was supposed to be, lol
Due to our swift win there was time for a very quick warm down game where I fired off the grenades I'd had charged and then died rather quickly after :$
This site continues to get better and better, I really feel lucky to have it so close to my home and know as friends the majority of the regulars.
I definately recommend giving it a try if you've not been before
