LOL well its not the one by the A3
are you a scouter?

I'm from Cobham but now live in Knaphill / Woking. Was a scout for a couple of years 1985-86 , remember one October night there in a colossal thunderstorm . Also Broadstone Warren in Sussex , Scoutabout at the Southern Counties showground, and a night hike from Bentley Copse in Ewhurst , also in a colossal thunderstorm. Yep , being cold , wet & covered in Bovril , is what I remember most

Well, I got the location wrong for where I used to go, the one off the A3 was a guide place further down the A3 closer to the M25 Heyswood, and the scout camp they sometimes used for its climbing wall/tower was Park Farm in Bandstead.

If you intend to let the children have a go with the tanks, you better be careful with the BB use, provide goggles. Although they're not very powerful, they can sting a bit.

i would probably have the Young People behind an archery net or something, that way the tanks can be one side of a barrier, them the other.

I was thinking of the archery net, didn't know if you had one at your site

Well, the nearest I got to being a scout, I used to go around doing the "Bob a job" and used to lie that I hadn't got my cub outfit yet as I was new. . . .
