I'm planning on driving from Chesterfield on the Saturday morning so as to reduce the number of nights that I'm away from my family!
😛
Yah big wimp! Roughing it is half the fun!

No longer involved in airsoft.
i dont like rough... 
me and Craig will be driving up that day. google maps reckons its about 3 hrs 20 mins from us in north somerset so shouldnt be too bad

We have a winner of the "dodgiest double entendre" competition!
Anyhoo, back to the topic. Luxury is a relative thing. I've spent some truly shitty (-15C ambient, 70MPH wind) nights out on the Scottish mountains in the middle of winter. Under a Zelt in a Welsh woods in the middle of summer is luxury by comparison! Just take the anti-midge spray....

You noticed the pair of them were their saturday pm and arived pretty early sunday.
If it was me Id have stayd, you get to have a drink AND a lie in.
after a little chat with craig we may well drive up the day before if camping on site the night befores on offer or if a large chunk are booking up in the travel lodge. personally I'd prefer the camping as its a good laugh
Anyone want me to bring up some some thatchers farmhouse cider?
so what time are we allowed on site to camp on the friday? also will there be a firing area setup to allow us to test fire etc?
I only ask as I wont have anywhere long enough to zero my sniper rifle before coming up
Friday night after 5 should be fine .
I'm sure we can find somewhere on site (700acres) for you to zero in .
I wouldn't bother with the cider / other booze . It does'nt make for good airsofting with a hangover or dehydration.
haha OK fair enough. sounds like some of you suffered last time from the "night before booze up". Is it ok to cook on site via a little stove or portable bbq?
It's the only way you'l get any warm grub !
Ok thanks just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to do anything I shouldnt. I know some sites prefer you not to bring stuff like that when I've been to other events
My view on the matter is simple, if the site provides reasonable grub then I wont take a burner, If not, and if their isnt a pub/cafe in a reasonable distance, then Im taking a burner or disposable BBQ, if they have a problem with me cooking on their site, they should provide an alternative.
On a recent visit to Gunman I took my burner and started cooking my breakfast as the young lady arived and started up the burger stand. Oooops.
thats fair enough just thought I'd ask rather than upsetting the rules looking forward to it especially as it'll be my first ww2 event
If there is a spare bed going in a room at the travelodge on friday night i'd be interested.
Cheers

I was going to kip in JD7's room, however I've changed my plans to camping as I'll hopefully be zeroing in my new Springfield courtesy of Rhys. 
The room I booked is looking to be up for grabs - since a fair few folks are gonna be at the site from Friday I will prolly be there also.
Anne & Barrie - if you want the family room it's yours, I cant get a refund, it's already paid for.
if A& B don't want it it's up for first grabs, i think I'll prolly have to 'sign' for it but i am planning on being in the area mid-afternoon.

Thanks for the offer JD7 but we already have a B&B booked for Friday and Sunday nights.
