Mall is in Reading town centre 2 minutes walk from the train station. There is also free parking over the road.
It is a fairly large cqb site with short to mid range engagement distances. Lots of stairs so run as light as possible as they can be quite punishing on players who are more used to woodland. Take a torch as it is quite dark in some areas.
It is well run and the staff are a friendly and helpful bunch of guys. The regulars for the most part are also generally a good bunch.
Gameplay wise it is like any other site in that it had good and bad days depending on who walks through the door.

We'll be at the Mall tomorrow too. @springs
Look out for a unicorn, and ginger giant. The other two of us won't be so noticeable
I suppose I should of added to that the Mall is so far the number one site we've played at. I did a review of it some time ago... I think.
Really good site with good marshalls. They tend to mirror your attitude, so if you're an asshole they'll be an asshole. Never had an issue with them even when I've done something wrong.
The briefing, isn't brief. The game play can be fun but has a tendency for blockages. So never stall the game in a jam - find another way. Take a torch - many parts are very dark.

Not sure he is talking about tomorrow and there is a site walk for all first time visitors to help them learn the layout.
Ah. Just assumed. "Who's pew-pewing at the Mall tomorrow?"
Either way he'll be sure to bump into a few regulars such as yourself.

As a site it's superbly run, really nice layout as well - especially when your entire team get boxed into the playpen!
My advice will be to run light, but preferably make sure you're covered up as the closer distances can result in some painful pews. You won't learn the site on your first go (or at least I didn't) so try to stick with the crowd as the majority of them will know where to go.
As already said bring a torch. This isn't a recommendation - this is basically a requirement (No, you won't get turned away for not having a light, yes you will fall over and struggle to do anything. It's VERY dark) Preferably a decent one. A remember another player basically couldn't play as his light was as dim as anything, and so had to stick to only lit areas.
You'll definitely enjoy it, it's got to be one of the top sites in the country for the combination of Marshals/Game Types/Layout.
Any questions and I'd imagine one of the forum regulars would be going - see if you can organise a link up of some description.

Hire guns are G36c's they are ok as far as hire guns go.
As long as your gun is below 340fps you will be fine.

Could always shoot them a message saying you're not sure what your gun is firing at and ask if they can reserve a rental package for you?

Free parking, that is less than 5 minute walk (when carrying heavy kit) from the entrance to The Mall. Parking is tight though due to pillars.
