it's probbably just army surplus kit, i don't understand the problem with thew age though? Surely teaching people respect for weapons and at the same time keeping young people busy and entertained is a good thiong?

I cant really see how you teach people respect for weapons in a 'hobby' where you use them to shoot at each other. I went paintballing once, it was a laugh but there was no posing about with realistic looking weapons pretending to be soldiers. I personally feel that it is wrong to immitate soldiers, however harmless if you have not been in the mob and earned the right to - it is also a criminal offence if you wear unit insignia, para jump wings etc. as some of those airsoft types do. In my opinion the whole thing is very 'Walter Mitty', but each to their own I suppose. If you want to look and act like a soldier join the armed forces, with all the implications that it involves. Sorry lads, I have taken this thread off course, and I am not even from Essex! (although I did live in Chelmsford for three years)
well if anyone is from the harlow area give me a shout, i am regulary travelling to benfleet so if anyone wants to meet up for a small beverage at some point let me know
Right. Good news after weeks of trying to get hold of the owner and being fobed off by the site manager saying he will call me back I went to the site and got hold of him.
The man say yes. as long as we give a bit of notice as the area we can use may be used for Lazer tag games. He also said they have a marshal who works for him that was on the Castaway show and they are thinking of starting up there own "Bushcraft/survival" courses.
If you PM me I will give out my number and we can see if we can get a meet in before the end of the year.

Dates dependant I would be interested, as would another forum member if he wasn't so busy lurking.
I don't live in essex and my bushcraft has a lot to be desired but really wanna get some hands on experience, would it be possible for me to attend? I live in ipswich but work delivering all over essex, so getting down there isn't a problem.
