New Zed Adventures CQB Site - 'Z-mart' in Newbury

[Speedbird_666]

It does mean that I'm trying to think of a way to fit all my kit and guns into a backpack though.

Therein lies the rub.

A 1/3rd of a mile isn't much, but that's 10 minutes walking through public streets lugging airsoft gear, without trying to attract the attention of the general public while doing so.

I'd rather park as close as possible to the venue, even if it costs 7-8 quid more, to reduce the risk. That, and I'm a lazy fucker.

By heck, parking ain't cheap though...

Up to six hours £7.20

Up to eight hours £8.70

Over eight hours £12

For that amount, I would want valet parking.

I'm going to park in the Newbury station car park. £4.40 for the whole day and a only a 0.3 mile walk away.

If you can kick your walk distance to 0.5 miles, Queen's Road always has plenty of on-street parking imo as well as the area around it.

E: Also the Burger King/Halfords car park is 2 hours max - but no ANPR and I've left my car there all day quite a few times

No charge on a Sunday guys?

Surely just park on Cheap Street?.....I'll see myself out.

Managed to bag the very last available spot for the opening day. Well chuffed.

Anyone else going?

FFS, no. Missed this   

Will have a look at the next date I can get on

Looks like the parking situation will hopefully improve at some point

Saturday 26th, for me..

Anyone else there on that day?

As keen as I am for a Mall Mk2 I think we all need to acknowledge that the gaming experience will not be the same in anyway (bar the long briefs ) The site looks really open and will probably require a lot of set dressing to make it into a CQB arena. I imagine in fullness of time it being something akin to some of the American style CQB arenas that are built within a warehouse complex.  Will be interesting to see how it develops.  I will be waiting out for the reports back.

270 mile round trip for me, so I'll hold out for a few reviews before I commit, makes me knees hurt just thinking about it lol

That would be a bit of a jog.

No charge on Sundays for parking

I haven’t looked at the parking options yet. Once I have played I will either try to book any available game or avoid the place.

Also depends on the drive. Will be an early start for a Sunday for me

From Negative Airsoft's FB

"If you want a £5 discount on a Saturday midday - 6pm game, just email [email protected] with the phrase "Negative Airsoft thinks I'm a cunt" & the Saturday you'd like to attend & we'll sort you out."

Organised sports events they say are ok. But I reckon even they will get clobbered.
