From dublin:

Take m9/n9 to Gowran, exit left and take R702 to Borris, go through Borris and follow R702 heading for kiltealy (it's a left turn about 1.5k out of the town) follow R702 until you come to ballymurphy, as you aproach ballymurphy there is a turn to the left (R703) follow this road for aprox 4k and watch out for the gotactical banner.

Hope this helps,
I'll measure the distances from borris tomorrow and see if it's possible to put out some visual markers to help as well.

Thanks, Peter

GoTac · 29-07-2010 12:13am

Try these co-ordinates
52.34.13N
6.53.30W

If you see a farm yard with two round dirt tracks next to it your in the right place

Thanks, Peter

Sorry for the confusion guys, here is a link to Google Maps for the site

It's at the end of the road marked with an "A" on the map, where the big green arrow is pointing to.

Same place alright.

If you have ever wanted to patrol up a river armed to the teeth, we have the perfect spot for you, myself and Frank have just finished clearing the river and it's epic. About 3 foot deep in places and about a kilometre in length, it has two small water falls (something like what's in the add for the defence forces when they where in east temor) so if you want to get wet don't forget the spare clothes for the trip home

OddysAirsoft · 29-07-2010 8:25pm

Roughly how long of a drive is that from Dublin.....It looks to be closer to Wexford than Carlow. paddy want the Rats to all meet near Mondello at 9 am but i reckon there is at least another hours worth of driving after that..am I right or wrong Pete?

Daz1214 · 29-07-2010 9:07pm

it seems a straight run from the m7/m9 down to gowran and across then

OddysAirsoft · 29-07-2010 10:10pm

It's about an hour and 15mins to bagnelstown at least and looking at the map there is a fir drive on secondary roads to the site. I reckon another 20 mins at least. So if we meet up at 9 at mondello its gonna bring us nearer to an 11am arrival which is to late! I think our meet up time needs to be reviewed lads

jeawan · 30-07-2010 8:20am

I may not of seen it but what time are the games starting at or what time we have to be on site at ?, ill be driving down N11 then cutting across to the site.

GoTac · 30-07-2010 2:39pm

My self and frank will be on site from about 8.30am, if players could aim to arrive on site between 9am and 10am, we hope to leave the check in area by 10.30am with first shots by 11am. just remember (its a long walk to the game area if your late. On sunday we can play till about 7pm or later depending on how [EMAIL="F*@&ed"]F*@&ed[/EMAIL] you all all, its a very large site.... we will ask for 30mins of your time after play to discuss your views and suggestions about the site.

Daz1214 · 30-07-2010 2:42pm

whats the travelling time from the beginning of the m9 lads?

GoTac · 30-07-2010 2:46pm

Not sure both myself and frank travel down the N11 and come in that way.

Daz1214 · 30-07-2010 2:50pm

ah rite

jeawan · 30-07-2010 3:03pm

Temp direction signs in place, keep an eye out for a black arrow on A4 with hellfire war games on top. Please note the speed limit is 25kph when you come off the main road.

GoTac II · 31-07-2010 7:26pm

BB's will be available on site.

GoTac · 01-08-2010 9:39pm

Big thanks to all who came out today, grate day, any feed back welcome

Ratsquad · 02-08-2010 7:18pm

have to say the site was brill with a lot of scope to do as you would loike to make a great site with long range games or short base camp defense games.
some absolutly brill natural features river is a great advantage for flanking not too deep even for me as i found out:rolleyes:, its also very clear to see where yer going.
some nice wooded areas which bottleneck into an ideal ambush zone.
which unfortunatly for attackers/patrol is difficult to divert from under fire.

would need a few more marshals to keep the games rolling as we found out on the reverse game. but i know the lads have that in hand.
would suggest more cover for attackers at both base camps .
all in all i had a brill day even with a poor turnout from my team.

the facilities where spot hot and cold drinks on hand hot food and snacks
which was much appreciated, toilet and wash
facilities were good.

indoor benches and a good loadout area was a good idea. although would suggest making a definitive area for safe zone and chronoing.

was a pleasure to play with TNT and against some very honest players
that dont take themselves too seriously and know how to enjoy a game of airsoft.

was a bit difficult to find but worth it.
cheers
paddy

Thanks paddy,

Work under way this week, car park extended, safe zone and crono area built, more permanent direction signs ordered.

What type of defensive positions would you like to see for the area coming from the woods to the open area (same style as bray or something different?)

Remember it's a site for you the players let us know what you want us to do with it to make it better for you all options considered:rolleyes:

aircraft fuselage for hijack rescues.

Bunkers, cars and shallow trenches on the way, aircraft fuselage we will have to see.

Site open this Saturday, we are closed on sunday to facilitate an annual motor bike race

jeawan · 05-08-2010 10:35am

I said it all to the lads on Sunday nice site , Paths will come with use i wouldn't be cutting too much away, love the river really good part of the site nice cover in most of the areas there are a few choke points but they are easy to get around if you make your own path or use the river .

Add a few more Marshall's ( with radios & high vis vests ) and get the games running a bit more fluid there was allot of standing around at the safezone on sunday but it was the first day so i can understand this. Have a bit more bunkers + sandbag in the areas near the castle for defense , also maybe add a sandbag bunker along one of the paths to add some extra hardship for the attacking side

A Plane wreckage would be pretty cool and also lead to a few good games but hard to come by i reckon .

But all in all nice work lads .

McGilla · 06-08-2010 10:01am

Good work Frank & Co, the site is looking class, plenty of hiding spots for Princess Butter Cup!

I'm only sick I missed it, but I'm back as of next week (Got a job again!),

I'm just wondering when the next attack is expected of the Carlow site?

Cheers

Robbie

G3-Nut · 06-08-2010 12:53pm
