EAG Gatwick with gammy knees?

[Dino68]

Ive been thinking about trying out EAG Gatwick but Ive heard that the site is a bit 'demanding'. Can anyone who's been give me a bit of advice?

Cheers

I went to their last event. It was absolutely insane!! They run things a little fast and loose but like people to stick closely to the rules of hit-taking and safety protocol. One of the games lasted a whole two hours. It was PAINFUL! They have a massive amount of land and regardless how many mags full of bb's you have, you end up running out of ammo or energy before many of the games end. Really good fun though....and you get a free burger for lunch! NomNOMnom!

Yeah,Ive found hit taking and safety are top notch at EAG Dorking too.What kind of games were played? Basic attack and defend or more objective based?

I played at EAG Worthing and Gatwick. Both very good sites, well run, good/excellent marshalling, good burgers. (Better at Worthing)
I have a dodgy knee (lot's of rugby in my youth = shagged knees. No cartilage, very stiff.) I explain it at each site I go to, and they were switched on and sympathetic.

Most of the fields we play (and there are a lot) have enough route choices to keep you off the more demanding terrain.
The waypoint game is always a favourite, normaly 8-10 markers to capture and push through (can take a couple of hours)
Another favourite Starts with attackers pushing through a small village to a fort, then through trenches and finaly clearing a church type building at the end.
It all gets mixed up with smaller games to keep things flowing.
It's a cracking site with great variation in terrain and folliage
