Woodland for hire?

[Tagger]

Hello all. I've been lurking on these forums for some time, but it's one of my more obscure hobbies that has prompted me to register and post a request.

 

I'm the secretary of a science-fiction live role-playing club. Put very simply, that means dressing up in costume and running around in the woods playing games. We use electronic "laser tag" guns for combat, so there's no paintballs or pellets left behind.

 

The problem we have is a lack of affordable sites to hire for our games. We have been hiring Scout camps for years, but the rising prices are making it ever harder to break even on a game.

 

Our members are scattered across the country, but mainly in England, from the South coast up to the Midlands.

 

Does any one have/know of a patch of woodland that they would be willing to hire out for the occasional Saturday or weekend? As a minimum, we're looking for around 35+ acres of private woods and somewhere to park cars. Buildings - even an old barn or shed - would be nice. Other facilities such as toilets or mains water would also be a bonus, especially for weekend games.

 

If you think you can help, please PM me and I'll see if the site would be suitable for some of our members.

If you would be so kind as to post pictures of any young woman involved in your role playing,I may be able to help.

 

Kind regards

My son would LOVE this.... Sometimes I am deeply disturbed by his high levels of nerdiness.....! [This week it's Minecraft... eh?]

 

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to help out with the woodland hire, it would conflict with our own role playing club [where we dress up in costumes running round the woods playing games, sometimes called a commercial game shoot....!] but I'll keep my eyes peeled....

 

Have you thought about just using accessible FC woodland Tagger? You'd get all the facilities you need without having to pay anything, but may run into the public on the odd occasion.... I reckon that any decent private woodland of that size is going to present you with the same problem, that it's going to be shot commercially and this comflicts quite heavily....

Our big problem with open access woodland is our guns. They are actually completely harmless, but the general public won't know that.

 

We wouldn't want to take the risk that one of our members, dressed in military costume, might leap out in front of a member of the public carrying what looks very much like an assault rifle.

 

Many years ago, when I did fantasy live-roleplaying, we used to use public woods. However, running around dressed as an elf and carrying a rubber sword is more likely to cause amusement to the general public!

"Rubber swording" is still very much alive and well, though I haven't done it for many years.
