Re: Tank Battlefield in South Wales

Re: Tank Battlefield in South Wales
A bit like the Panzergruppe Tarraco Panzerdrom by Jussek and his friends?wibblywobbly wrote:The site hasn't been used for a few years, and has become overgrown again. There has been talk of a site visit this year when the sunshine returns to see if it can be recovered. It is a large area, about 50m x 70m. Weeds are the biggest problem as it was scrubland when we were given it. It's a shame as it had the potential to be something unique in the UK.

Re: Tank Battlefield in South Wales
It would be a great place to visit if we could get it going again Richard, people could make a weekend of it as it's situated on the campsite, it's only a couple of miles from Barry island as well so anyone wanting to visit with family would have other attractions to visit also
Cheers, Lee.

Re: Tank Battlefield in South Wales
I don't think there's static caravans Mick but you may be able to roll up with a tourer or camper

Re: Tank Battlefield in South Wales
Hi Guys, New to the Tank Battle scene. There appears to be a gap in the times on this site. Is there anything happening at SWAG?
