A Fantastically Muddy And Brilliant Day Out

What a huge amount of fun! I went with my 13 year old son, and with 70 other people, we got kitted out in boiler suits and helmets, and were advised to wear Welly Boots. (A must for this!) We split into small teams, and went off for the first part of the day, doing survival stuff, then clay pigeon shooting, and then driving an Armoured Personnel Carrier and a Russian Grodzilka mobile howitzer. This was absolutely fantastic, pure adrenaline, grunt, diesel fumes and loads of wet mud! Out driven by my son, we returned to camp for lunch, which was filling. After lunch, we did some musketry and small canon (mortar actually) firing at targets. That was really exciting, smelly and noisy! Then moved onto more driving, a Humvee and a Lancer, and finally finishing the day in the armoury, which was very well done. A fabulous collection of weapons, that my son recognised most from playing on his X-box. A long, but brilliant day out. Very well done to all!
