Lol, I see the shepherds crook coming in the corner of my eye! It's only my twisted sense of humour that helped me through the weekend! I couldn't even FIND my bits when I needed a whizz, the rain and cold had a very detrimental effect on me!
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Dunno his name I'm afraid but he was dressed as a falschirmjager. He almost shot us in fright!
That was probably me and all I can say is you two hid yourself bloody well!
I remember moving towards the 88, then looking up and seeing a face where there wasn't one a few moments ago, but quickly realised you were friendlies as you'd not shot me already.
That said, I didn't notice your brother at all, only one of you. Where was he parked? (I hope I didn't walk over or right next to him and not notice!)
I had a thoroughly good time, I have never seen rain quite like that in all my life!!!
I must get onto Yeomans about the credibility of their 'waterproof' ponchos, because mine really didnt do the trick! 
Best Part for me was lying face down in a ditch stuck under a fellan tree with a German patrol approaching, they must have got within 20 yards of us, fortunately looking the other way, not sure my M1 was up to shooting with water inside the breech!
Defending the mortar around the US camp was good too, seeing the Germans coming out of the woodwork (quite literally) was certainly an experience! After managing to get a few of them hiding like a coward behind a stack of bracken, I got hit in the leg by a well placed sniper shot, my Jump suit bottoms were so laden with water spray came off the impact!
I learned a lot from the weekend, not only that camping is very difficult in severe weather conditions, but also how good camaradary (sp?) can be huddled around a camp fire.
Looking forward to the next event!
Cheers to all the organisers, and your resolve for keeping the show on the road! 
First of all a big thanks to Guy and the rest for organising. Clearly a lot of effort goes into organising any event, but the combination of functioning props, remote location, and a large site in which people could wander around aimlessly (and no radios) must have been a massive hurdle, so top marks from me. I've only attended a handful of airsoft events (and always as a driver) but I'm much more impressed with the ones that involve subtlety, patience, and concealment rather than high rates of fire. So, again, top marks.
Thanks also to the IED folks - great site, and thanks for being such great resistance fighters!
Finally, Daf (my co-driver) and I thoroughly enjoyed it (if you hadn't guessed). Camping in a forest is a good start anyway, but getting to shoot a few people as well was the icing on the cake! <grin>
We should take the guns on the next 4X4 exped eh Jamie . Give Nige a run for his money . 
yep, as jamie sez, a great larf and getting to blat away at people is always a bonus...and my geeky army surplus side enjoyed checking out the effort people put into their gear. excellent.
cheers to guy for the lend of the gear, much appreciated. and to the various people who lent me mag loaders etc...just need to persuade jamie to sign up for d-day and have a rummage through me old surplus gear...and ebay, i suspect.
cheers to all involved, seeya'll soon...
