Staying over, or heading home in the evening?
Staying over. Dont need to do another 110 mile round trip if i can avoid it LOL.
Probably best to let Andy @ UCAP know whats going on sooner rather than later.

I have... I'll hassle him again nearer the time.
By sheer chance it appears there is an event happening down at Portsmouth that weekend... Its mainly a veterans event, but from what I can gather there will be some re-enactment...
Hmmm, I'd best not wear the German uniform above ground then!
Okay... roof box is now on the zafira so we should definately have enough room for our kit!
I'm planning to ring them up today to confirm arrival details for the Saturday evening.
I reckon to set off from my place around 8:00am so that means arrival at Dave's at 8:40am and then arrival at Portsmouth around midday with plenty of time to shop, etc!
Rang Andy up... all is okay.
Great.
I'll have to wear the German kit as the Thompson is over the site limit.
Will we have electric light on in the tunnels overnight or do we need to bring some form of lamps?
No idea. best to bring some lamps. I'll dig out a couple of gas lamps ive got (and a good few gas cylinders)
Oh, its concrete floors as well so bring a thermarest or camp bed. And a torch for gameplay (some parts of the site are unlit)

Okay had an email from Andy:
Hi Richard

lol just noted he posted this on his forums...
Zee Germans will be camping over on Saturday so if anyone else want to, let me know. Im sure a few pistol games will happen on the sly!
Surprised you're not on there complaining about being called one of "ze germans"

I just have!
What are we doing about marshalls , can we dispense with their yellow clad ed ness and marshall it ourselves?
Not sure... something to discuss with Andy on Sunday I think.
Andy's response to my last email:
So basically we can come and go from the site as long as one person stays as its locked from the inside, fair enough!
YEP, AND YOU SHUT THE GATES BEHIND YOU ON THE DRIVEWe'll not touch the choccies!
GOODHow wet is it down in the tunnels? Do we need to worry... We had enough of water/rain at the event at the weekend... heh...
NOT WET ENOUGH TO WORRY, DRY TO CAMP IN, JUST SOME AREAS ARE WETI'll discuss with the guys RE arrival time but 7pm sounds likely as we suggested before, but perhaps a bit later to allow us to go out and get some food?
OKIs there any mobile phone reception down in the tunnels? I would assume not, its just that we're going to be arriving in two separate cars and some comms may be helpful...
IN THE SAFE ZONE THERE IS SOME, NEARER THE DOORWhat time is game-on/briefing etc in the morning? I assume you'll want us to have got our camp beds cleaned out of the safezone before people start arriving?
IF YOU CAN BE PACKED AWAY FOR 9, OPEN THE GATES ON TH DRIVE, THAT
As we're coming down in seperate cars, can someone give me a ring when you guys are in Pompey?
Meet by the RM museum? (with the show on Southsea Common, parkings likely to be a bit of a git round there.)

yup... will ring...
Kermit,
Just had a call from Andy... let him know how much we enjoyed the day and told him some of the ideas we have had.
He suggested to me about praying the swastika/eagle template thingies on the barrels and crates before I could mention it.
