Hill Event in the UK this summer?

[lemaitre]

Hello all,
I'm quite interested in having a Indochina themed hill event this summer. It would be loosely based on a bunch of stragglers trying to get back to friendly territory (RC4 and post Dien Bien Phu come to mind). As this would most likely be on public land, no small arms would be carried. I suggest a location such as the Forest of Dean - plenty of scope for getting lost in the woods . No time scales yet, but mid summer seems ideal.

So, if you fancy getting your boots muddy for a couple of days, please let me know!

Just hope my boots are broken in by then

David.

Why no weapons I know a re-enactor who owns about 9 acres of woodland some on a steep hill side near Ironbridge in Shropshire, we can use freely as long as we supply the beer

Digging in and camping allowed also

Sounds very promising! Looks like it could be a good option.
I'd like to do some sort of route march, which is why the use of public trails was mentioned. No reason why we couldn't combine the two though.
My first consignment from La Tranchee arrived today, including some of the TAP ammo pouches. So you'd be very welcome to borrow them if you're still looking for some Danny.
Cheers, David.

Danny,
Where abouts is the site you're talking about? I'd like to check out the area on an O/S map.

Merci!

Thanks. ;D

Sorry Mick, David has left the Indochina war scene. He sold all his gear and moved on earlier this year. Mostly due to money issues but also due to the complete lack of support from others in our community.
