Hi from an old ass returning player

[jellybeans]

Just stopping by to say hi after about 10 years out of the scene due to living abroad. I used to play back in the very early days and saw the hobby grow from just a handful of sites and clubs (I used to run one too), saw the introduction of the UKARA (hi John :D) and then had to hang up my boots after moving abroad.

Looking forward to getting going again and finding some cool sites and people to play with. It seems the scene has grown massively since back then and shops and site have sprung up everywhere. Sad to see some old favourites gone now too though.

I will probably be picking your brains on all the current brands and gear, and hopefully I'll see some of you around.

Welcome back mate, where abroad were you that you couldn't keep playing ?

Middle of nowhere in Portugal. Sadly there were no clubs/teams within a reasonable driving distance.

Haha not sure I can help with much. I used to tune and mod guns I guess so maybe there's some old man wisdom floating around from that, but mostly I'll be complaining about codsofters and the price of green fees these days. 😁

That's a shame😔, especially to have to come back to the "sunny" UK to get a game in 🥶

Yeah. I even took a few of my faves with me and had to two-tone them as per the law there. 😭

I'm pretty central, near Mildenhall and Thetford kinda area. Are you out here in Farmer country too? Any sites to recommend?

I suppose I will have to get my UKARA again soon. 🙄

Welcome. This is a good website for finding somewhere to play

You're in dangerous territory near Mildenhall and Thetford. You have DK Armaments and Only Airsoft (Norfolk) on your doorstep to drain your bank account.

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

You have Gunman Tuddenham, Combat Thetford, Battle Stations Snetterton, Combat Action Games Norwich and Battleground at Necton.

 

Gunman is my favourite by a margin due to the quality of gameplay, but I've had good games at all of the rest.  Battle Stations is CQB and very intense fun.
