Azubi Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not going to turn down a chance to go crashing around the woods at night. It's usually more like a giant whinging contest during the night games. Link to post Share on other sites
curlyboy Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 The last time I did a night game was 2006 when the marshals walked around with glow sticks and gave away your position in the dark. Would not have minded but I had NVG and the ambush was going to be awesome all ruined by quad bike lights and glow sticks. Curlyboy Link to post Share on other sites
dinj Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 My excuse is that after I fight with my tent, I want to reward myself with a beer straight away Pretty much this. Last thing I want to do after a 3-4 hour drive is go shopping. I want to park. Have a beer. Put tent up. Have a beer. Take impressive but cliche'd photo of entire teams guns lined up against the van. Have a beer. Etc. Link to post Share on other sites
bobthebuilder Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's usually more like a giant whinging contest during the night games. Well, if it turns into that, I'll happily pack it in and just visit the beer tent for more ringwood best! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ringwood Brewery stuff is nice. Link to post Share on other sites
bobthebuilder Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ringwood Brewery stuff is nice. Don't I know it. great thing is it's my local beer. I actually genuinely missed it while I was in plymouth for uni. Link to post Share on other sites
Brooxy Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 The only problem with the ale at the weekender, is that they should have Ringwood Best on one tap, and Ringwood Boondoggle on the other. Although if that happened, I'm not sure if I'd spend a lot of time away from the bar Link to post Share on other sites

DecimusKrieg Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah, was a good weekend overall, was good to meet Deadmeat again (first met at the Arnies Mall meet), sadly didn't meet any other forum folk, at least not knowingly! Hope the rest of you had a good time Oh and I didn't win anything... Again! Fix much =P Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I did see you and your lady about on the field, but was always some distance away or under fire. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 My favourite part of the weekend was seeing friendly faces. Loved meeting you down there scorch and it was great to catch you again this year heroshark, no matter how brief/last minute, before I departed from the event early. I had to duck out because I realised just what effect the event was having on me - I was fixing guns for 14 hours straight on Friday. I didn't realise it was a taking such a toll on me until it was too late. Had my mate not bailed on me it would have been far easier to take breaks, have regular meals and organise myself. As it was, weather took its toll on the marquee and I didn't get anywhere near as much sleep as I needed. Still well worth it overall, though. Raised some cash for the charity and helped as many players as I could with their weapons. Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Here's part 1 of a series of video's I'm making, I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see some of the best bits, including the heroic but ultimately unsuccessful storming of the village at the end of day 2! Enjoy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IheaQBfDksM Link to post Share on other sites
DecimusKrieg Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I did see you and your lady about on the field, but was always some distance away or under fire. I did keep an eye out for you but had no joy. Hope you had a good weekend though Link to post Share on other sites
