Colin Allen Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I think I already know the answer to this question, but has anyone played at 501st Airsoft, which is a new site near Tunbridge Wells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez_Armstrong Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Nope, but mostly because it's a stones throw from my house and I'm a regular at battle lakes so a new site that arrived on our door step that opens the same weekends the lakes does was a shitty move 😂 But then looking at the photos on Facebook, it looks like bare woodland with a few pallets thrown about the place, nothing exciting at all Edited June 5 by Jez_Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lord_Poncho Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Oh, good spot - 30 minutes away from me according to google, I might be tempted, if only for a bit of variety. Web presence seems extremely limited however! Looking at the booking page, it appears that it is full day bookings only and that spaces are limited to 50 (which might provide a clue as to the size of the playing area).

The photos of the site are somewhat underwhelming, which is why I was asking if anyone had actually played there. 1 hour ago, The_Lord_Poncho said: Oh, good spot - 30 minutes away from me according to google, I might be tempted, if only for a bit of variety.

Indeed; the photos on FB are somewhat uninspiring and, based on them, numbers appear low. I might wander down there to try it out at some point.
