JACK5225 · 31-07-2009 10:58am

i drove by those co ordinates yesterday aswell and it wasn't there

OakRidgeAirsoft · 31-07-2009 11:25am

these co-ordinates were provided by the Ordance survey who did an on site inspection, however it seems they are not compatible with standard GPS, I am awaiting the revised format.
simple directions:
TAKE EXIT 4 OFF THE N7, PROCEED THROUGH RATHCOOLE VILLAGE,HANG A LEFT AT THE TOP OF THE TOWN JUST BEFORE THE POTIN STILL, PROCEED STRAIGHT UP THE KILTEEL ROAD.
YOU WILL COME TO A CROSS ROADS APX 2 MILES UP THE ROAD AFTER CALLIGSTOWN RIDDING SCHOOL, SIGNPOSTS FOR PDM/RONKCABIN TO THE RIGHT,YOU TURN LEFT.
FOLLOW THE ROAD UP THE HILL APX 1.5 MILE,YOU WILL COME TO A 90 DEGREE LEFT BEND (THE OLD CITYWEST QUARRY IS IN FRONT OF YOU).
AFTER THIS BEND ON THE LEFT ARE 2 STEEL GATES WITH AN AVENUE LEADING DOWN TO THE SITE.
THERE WILL BE A FLAG/SIGN ON THE GATE SATURDAY MORNING.

The site is apx 3-4 acres at present, within a 46 acre plot (plenty of room to expand when required).
At present we will run with all bb's however going foward we may change to bios only, there is a lot of wildlife in the area.
both will be available for sale on site at the weekend.
cover: there a a number of timber structures on site along with forestry, trenches, sand bags etc.
Lunch? there will be a full shop provided on site at 2pm daily providing sandwiches, refreshments etc.

Do we book rentals through boards?

AUDIE MURPHY · 01-08-2009 6:05pm

any photos of the site.. what way is the site with all the rain this week.

CoBurN · 01-08-2009 9:24pm

I'll try get up to ye's tomorrow as I've only been to the warehouse....once! Maybe with the new surroundings the FNG wont get his ass kicked.........quite so bad as on well stomped dirt:D

OakRidgeAirsoft · 02-08-2009 12:03am

Yea guy's if you are looking for rentals this weekend just let me know through Boards. Hopefully next weekend there will be rentals available on site. In regards to the rain this week. The site has held it's own to be honest! Obviously in parts it has got a bit mucky. But over all it's ready for some serious action!
