Russe11 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I gave up driving a few years ago. never regretted it until I started airsoft. Airsoft games always start before trains start running on a Sunday. WW2 games are not too bad as they're usually on a Saturday with camping the night before. Bit of a pain getting there by train carrying all the airsoft gear and camping gear, but I have it all sorted now. Last Sunday I left home at 6am with a backpack containing my sten, a pistol, gas, ammo, batteries etc, plus a canvas valise with my Lee Enfield. I was wearing my Aussie jungle gear and P37 webbing. I crossed Bristol, went down the Avon Gorge to Pill, then along cycle paths to Portishead. Bristol to Portishead without hills took a bit of local knowledge, but theres no way to avoid the fact that Black ops Portishead is at the top of a massive hill. I arrived knackered. It's only about 15 miles but the weight of a Sten and Lee enfield made it a tough trip. Fortunately on the way home, I was able to go over the Avon bridge and catch a train from Shirehampton. Next time you moan about how knackered you are after a day's skirmish, imagine having to cycle home afterwards
TacMaster Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I usually get a lift from a mate and give him a lift on the way home. I'll be driving next year so I can go further afield than my local site.
DEF Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Being an old fart has its benefits. I have a choice of 4 cars when I want to go airsofting, but always seem to gravitate toward my old Jeep for some reason :-) Lozart 1
