R Cubed Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 12x12 !!! errrr well how can I put this how about 16' x 36' ( U.S. G.P. Medium tent ) well just like the main tent at Bolero if you went ? Hope this is not toooo big.... Quite right I don't want to put it up over someone else's area, I am aiming to be down there around early afternoon on the Fri so would there be people about to direct me to a suitable free area for me to set up ?

Shakey985 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Here I was thinking that this was a tactical exercise with cam nets up, gun and radio pickets, 2 cans per man per haps, digging in, practicing counter ambush drills, placing all Armour in turret down locations and all it really is, is a piss up! and sleeping in the pub I hope yew all have a good time have a beer for me, I am watching Paul Down under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ives Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 thanks for putting up that image :tup::see if you can get one when we are there and try to spot the vehicles as they will be in the trees the pub is the big building by the road and the campsite is behind the two houses on the right the woods we will be using are the ones on the far right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPTA team Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Paul how could you think it was anything other than a mass piss up. The days of running around trying to find the enemy and killing them has long gone mate. This is more of relaxed affair with no enemy, no guns and diffently no shooting people. Mind you if Rambo fails to bring the cakes................... Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
