We are expected to dig in dude.... its all part of the experience, modern life is left behind & you relive the lives of the everyday infantryman, its the closest you'll get wihout being shot... periods on stag, recce patrols to suspected enemy positions using maps rather than "they're over there somewhere "! as mentioned before, it's living history not blattin.

Hi guys Hedge here, just wondering if I could tag along with Dom to this one I know that I won't have half of the right kit but I am looking to improve it even on a limited budget.
I heard talk of blankets - could you possibly see if theres a spare one going that I could purchase Guv? And perhaps a shovel?
regards
Hedge

Hiya buddy
What kit do you need? I'm sure we can get the kit together for you to use for the event mate. I have a TARDIS full of kit (well okay it's only a shed).

I love the idea of digging in and doing recce patrols and all that good stuff, after Redditch the whole blat like there's no tomorrow thing has lost some of the appeal.
Whizz, do you know if the event will run solidly for the weekend? or is it a case of it's getting dark so knock it on the head? coz I really like the idea of being out on patrol at night when there's a 'real' enemy out there

Its a 30 hour non stop event, once you there your there ! no sneaking off for a bit of comfort...... the firing can go on till 11:30 then resume at 06:30.... night fight..... come on !

woohoo!! Can't wait to blat at night, this looks like possibly the best event ever ;D. Finally a private event where we will get to experience a small peice of what our farthers/grandfarthers had to endure so we have the freedom to recreate it today ;D
