I was only there for a couple of days in 2007 but the facilities were top notch and I doubt much has changed. Sorry I can't add much info, I'll see if I got any mates there.

Sent from my iPad using ARRSE app 'cause I can.

I thought the boardwalk was shut down? I was there in 2008 (briefly, was based in Kabul) and agree with it being full of fat septics but I heard that a septic General took umbrage that the 'REMFs' were larging it on pizzas and burgers whilst the boys were out getting shot at on a regular basis. Didn't take into account that said boys looked forward to a little bit of 'normailty' hence flocking to the boardwalk for coffees and burgers when they came back in.

You've got mates?

No wonder the other mods shun you.

Enjoy the all-pervading smell of shit.

Though googling poo-pond reveals that it may not be for much longer.

Sounds like I'll be missing out on a real bit of history!

No that's just because of the incriminating photos I've got.

Was open when I was there about three months back. As for keeping away, all I would say is that any fucker can be uncomfortable.

I had a look for them on your 'self publicising prick' blog and I must say it wasn't the large gash I wanted to see

Popped in a few times on H10. the boardwalk is actually not too bad. The ecosse was my favourite. Just in case you weren't in the COB in Iraq then, it's a Dutch cafe type thing. Does a decent scoff and is good for sitting and having a brew in. The German shop is pretty good for any bits of kit or clothing you might need.

Oh and there's plenty of clunge cutting around. If you're into that kind of thing.
