GAMBLE Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Hi @Rich466993! ? Been in that situation when I started! Hopefully there will be people on here in that county? Best thing to do when it is safe, is go to a site, try it out, see if that site is for you? Rent, listen to rules, interact with players, sensible play and have fun! ?? ?GAMBLE?

Their boots are hardwearing,(last pair lasted well over a year of cqb and greenops and also on building sites)comfortable and very well made. Missus has just got me another pair for xmas. Very good value for money. She has to make me take them off before going to bed! Lol ?? Regards 3 minutes ago, Shamal said: @Rich466993yes mate excellent boots! I have had viper gear for years.

Protected fingers and still supple enough to be able to move?
Rich466993 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 Brilliant , thanks Shamal! I was looking at the mechanix gloves online so that’s great to hear they are tried and tested mate ?. Going to pull the trigger on the gloves and boots
Brophy Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Hi @Rich466993, welcome to the forum. I'm not that far from you, I'm just "up the road" bordering Bilston/Wolverhampton. What sites you looking at have a go at? Might be worth looking at West Mids FOB (they are still doing rentals, when not in lockdown). Might be able to join up with you one of the days ?
_stylian_ Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Welcome. I'm looking to get back into things when restrictions end, trying out different sites to see where I like within Shropshire!/West Mids
