EVENT REVIEW
AMBUSH
ADVENTURES
XMAS GAME 2011
Taking a break from reviewing rifles, Ratty went down to Chobham in Surrey
for Ambush Adventure’s Xmas Bash
I
f you live in the South of England and
have played airsoft over the last few
years, there is a fair chance that you
have played at Ambush Adventure’s
Chobham site. This 46-acre woodland
site has been running for some 15 years now,
originally as a paintball site but for the last 10
years or so as an airsoft skirmish site – so you
could say it is fairly well-established!
Having played there myself on and off over
the years I have seen the site develop, with
more features added, some old ones taken
away – and thankfully some new drainage
trenches dug! Some of their Christmas
bashes in years gone by have reached almost
legendary status for their fun-filled, tongue-incheek games – and of course some outrageous
fancy dress costumes. So on the last Sunday
before Christmas 2011, I thought it time to
review this Xmas tradition…
Already 18 December seems an age ago,
and it’s not even the New Year at the time of
writing this. The morning of the event started
off cold and murky but by the time I arrived the
sun had decided to come out, which usually
guarantees a good turnout. The ground was
frozen underfoot and the Safe Zone itself was
pretty much deserted apart from head marshal
Dave and Theo from Airsoft QMS setting up his
on-site shop. On game days he sells all manner
of accessory items and tactical gear. Of course
under my official capacity I was busy setting up
my mobile Badger Tac shop, selling a selection
of rifles and pistols, as well as other kit from
the shop, for those who had some money left
over after their Christmas shopping!
Charlie and Christine, who own and run
Ambush Adventures, were next to arrive
with their van filled with not just the rental
