Blurs a bit far for me but I will check it out and may end up making a visit at some point

I'm probably going to book into the Bournemouth game in May, seeing as it's only 10mins from my front door.

 

@CamouflageAirsoft how will the day be run?

 

I've played Paintball on the site, and some of the games I played just wouldn't work for Airsoft on the small game areas, for example the bridge game was a bitch even with paintballs - you could shoot spawn-to-spawn way too easily - with a 450FPS Airsoft sniper - you're fucked if you are on the other team.

 

And that middle field in the 'valley'. That's going to be mental with 30v30 and full-auto guns.

 

Will the games run across larger areas (or indeed the whole) of the site instead?

 

If you are going to use Paintball Marshalls, trying to get people to play Paintball games, you're not going to have a happy group of Airsofters.

 

I'm sure you have all this covered - you run a slick operation for Paintball, but a little more info will help the Airsoft crowd understand if it's the kind of venue that works for them.

 

**Edit** My bad. I can see that your website has the games and maps. Adrenaline looks......tight.....

I'm in Burton, Christchurch. It's just a short trip over the Avon Causeway for me to get to the site.

South coast massive meet up in May then 😆 I'm over in Ringwood.

 

Be good to have another site close by. Still mourning the loss of Combat South and hope the guys can get another site soon.

It's unlikely unfortunately due to work. Never been either, which is daft as I'm literally 5 mins away. Usually see a lot of the international guys at The Railway in Ringwood! Plan on being at GZ whenever I can and, if Camouflage works out, there as well.

I'm going to the Alton site this Sunday 22/8/2021, myself and three teenagers I'll be desperately trying to look after for the day, with three of us bringing our own AEG's / pistols and one being a rental (so I'll be able to comment on their chrono procedures). Online there are very few useful photos of this site, pretty much just marketing ones, so I'll try and take a few if I can.

 

Is there anything others would like me to keep an eye out for at all?

I was last there many many years ago.

 

If I recall correctly there were a few areas with stones close below the surface (wear decent knee pads if you are inclined to kneel)

….. and there was one particular mini bunker that smelt rank when wet & muddy.  Whenever I mistakenly found myself in there I would try to balance with one foot on each side of a tyre and be very pleased to get shot out

Haha. You primadonner 😉

So, not a review per se of their Alton (near Winchester) site, more a few notes on my day there today (22/8/2021) with myself + my son + his two cousins (12 + 11 + 13, and all good sensible boys taking their hits and playing fair, with the 11 year old being a "Silver" rental).

 

To start with I have to say it's the best site I've been to yet in the almost year I've had since playing airsoft, my son really liked it and it's his new no1 site (we've played mixed indoor / outdoor and full on indoor CQB). I didn't take any photos as I was having too much fun, which is what it's all about, and the Google Streetview points all around the site pretty much show it as it is however it was a little more overgrown than shown and all the better for it (snipers could properly hide, one game not moving onto the next round when everyone though it was over as he was so well hidden) and there was lots of good green cover). It was a nice day in the end, mild and sunny, however I think once winter hits it could get quite muddy and you'll loose the leaves of the trees so maybe easier to spot others with more ambient light). There's definitely small stone / flint about here and there so I was very glad to have good "Alta Industries" knee pads which helped a lot with keeping low. 

 

It's a big site, the car park, safe zone and the various gameplay "zones" they have (most of which are in the forest). The briefing and chrono were both good, however the marshals were very good being nice and loud for all to hear them and pushing on teams that were slacking, plus friendly.

 

Site shop pricing was very fair for ammo and stuff, but I'd say bring your own food as the variety offered was just book in advance pizzas and chocolate and crisps (but lots of chilled drinks). The toilets were clean and well looked after, for me a sign of somewhere that cares about their image. The safe zone was good, but be aware that only a third or so of the picnic benches are under cover so if it's a rainy day get there early to claim a covered one.

 

I'd say a solid 8 to 9 out of 10, and will definitely be going back.

 

Edit: I think a good part of the day going well was due to this guy... https://www.instagram.com/sheezdog/ .. who was the head marshal / managing the games, and on the day was always polite and friendly no matter how many lame questions I put his way.

 

Edit 2: And keep your eyes out for an almost new PTS EPM 1 mag out there somewhere 😢 (I should never have let my son borrow it, they're so damned expensive, and to be honest a wind up high cap feeds my DE M904E just as well)
