Hunter1100

Book tickets now. Figure out logistics later

There is a ferry that runs from Dublin to Denmark apparently if we can get some sort of mini-bus or someone willing to drive with kit. I'll be bringing the beast, a back-up AEG and a GBB so air-travel is almost ruled out on that alone for me.

Time to start beating the war-drum. I'll give the ASI boys a shout as well

tried to book it but it wont let me as the lot from oct 30th is gone so i will wait until 30th nov

Hunter1100

96 euro is a good price when you consider the work that must go in to running an event of this size.
would be at HRTA tomorrow , its a long drive from Cork

Gatling

sorry hunter just saw your details ,any idea what faction everybody wants to join, i reckon emails and ph numbers exchanging on this might be a good idea then take it from there

Hunter1100

I think the best place to start would be a list of people that are genuinely interested in going

Rileo

Next tickets will be released in one week (last of november)

Here is a small teaser from the 2005 years event

Gatling

Hunter1100

If there is a group going then count me in. Wouldn't be any fun by myself

Gatling

just wondering about this ferry you were talking about do you have any more info ?

Hunter1100

I cant find this ferry either all the ferries I found either go to the uk or France

Masada

I have a friend that works for stena line so might be able to find out about the ferry, although ive never heard anything about a ferry to denmark from dublin.,

Gatling

id say its dinlin to hollyhead then train to newcastle them ferry direct to sweden or denmark,or belfast to scotland then ferry from there

Hunter1100

Will the VCR bill not Stop us from entering the UK

Gatling

no cause were going to send our gear direct to the site in sweden which will by pass the uk,

Hunter1100

If the Aeg,s are getting posted would it not be easier to fly to Sweden ?

Gatling

yeah but airports gereraly not a goodplace to bring realistic AEGS to and airlines mighnt allow them to be checked on board even if they go straight to the cargo hold,il email some airlines and see where they stand with airsofts,also most ferries have banned them from being transported on board

Hunter1100

I am not saying bring the aeg,s on the plane, post them go on the plane yourself . Surely it would be cheaper than getting 2 ferry trips, a train trip and however it is planned on getting fro the port in sweden to game area. There is an airport closer to the site

This link is from the ASI forums it marks the location of the site I think

Cheeky monkey

God damn this would be a great end to the leaving cert :D:D

Hunter1100

It looks like it is going to be expensive, but then again everything in airsoft is as well

Gatling

cheeky how old are you, the event organisers are strictly enforcing a over 18s policy due to the fact swedish laws prevent anyone under 18 owning a Airsoft or playing airsoft,
otherwise you and limo would be dragged kicking and screaming to sweden

Cheeky monkey

I'll be 18 in Febuary

Gatling

just waiting to hear back from some mates of lemmings before we get organised properly ,now how do we age limo a few years.im working on hivemind too.
cheeky monkey , and couple more names and we will have a team

Cheeky monkey

If we give limo some hormones and get him a fake passport we might be able to get him in

Now time to sell my xbox to fund a trip the trip
