At the risk of sounding like your Grandma.... here's a quick list of recommended items for the w/e:

Tent, sleeping bag, camping equipment, torch, etc
Water - we'll be skirmishing for 4 hours at a time, so you'll need to take some with you whilst "on patrol"
Food / snacks - there should be a food van onsite (to be confirmed), but again, snacks that can be taken "on patrol" to keep your sugar levels up.
Uniform, equipment, change of clothes, lots of socks
Weapons, BBs, BFGs, gas, etc, eye protection - don't forget to charge your batteries in the preceding week. :wink:
Compass - it's a fairly big site, and you'll all have maps, but in the unlikely event you don't know where you are, head east!

Anything else?


You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

I`ll vouch for the compass.

I got lost at the site at the weekend. After over an hour without even being able to HEAR the play, I was convinced that I`d be camping out and hitch hiking home - how I was going to do that with an M14 I was trying to work out.

I`ll be taking a compass and map!

Yeah, BFG armed and ready to cook off, for throwing into the aformentioned player's tent.... *WARNING* pyrotechnic discharge is unrecommended due to the nature of the ground.... oh and the oxygen/alcohol/methane rich environment within the tent

Red wine and wineglasses.

Everything else is optional...
