Germany - Lithuania - Poland

Mar. 27 Get away from it all - if you dare; If you're tired of holidays where you can at away from it all, here's one which you can try to escape from - if you dare! For30 you can spend a weekend as a Coldits - style prisoner of war billated in freezing cold huts (no fires allowed) fed on thin soup and stale bread, driven about in the back of a cattle truck, hosed down in the middle of the night and be searched and interrogated by camp guards complete with German uniforms, guns and watchtowers. Instead of friendly redcoats they'll be nice chaps from teh battle re-enactment Association with a nice line in psychological interrogation. Organizer of the horror holidays is 41 year old exparatropper Bob Acraman who runs a variety of adventure courses including parachuting, shooting, gliding, assault courses and absailing at the RSA Adventure School at Weyhill, Hants, Housed in a former isolation hospital the 6-acre center will become a mini-Colditz from which compare will be dared to escapte - at their peril. Bob Acraman is no stranger himself to an adventurous life, He served for 13 years with the Parachute Brigade and won the Army Championship for style and was the Baor Champion for for consecutive years. He has made over 3, 000 decents in over 80 countries. He sees the prisoner of war weekends as a challenge to test wits, strength adn skill rather than just providing an outlet for masochists. He believes life in Britain nowadays is so safe and dull that many people long for an opportunity to test their resources. One thing isn't in doubt - campers will be able to write to their enemies wish you were here and really mean it.
