Paintballing - Sunday 26th July 09 - Review

[Alchamist]

Well, Just got back in from the day - and what a fantastic day it was!

Started off a bit dodgy, due to the fact it decided to throw it down - but it soon wore itself out and the rain held off from when we got there until after we left ... however the downside (or upside, depending on your view!) is that the site was more than a little muddy

The site was great, and really friendly. They looked after us first timers (of which 10 out of the 12 of us were) just fine. The other group we were with were very boisterous, but it turns out that was a good thing. After the "fear of god" safety talk, we were off and playing ... first shot that got me was in the neck - then throughout the day I was hit in various parts of the body. That was all fine - as the hits were longish-range so didn't sting too much. Then, for reasons unknown (I think I was hit by a moment of insanity), right at the end of the day I joined the "last man standing" game - basically all out war in a small space - and boy did that hurt.

There aren't any photos of the games etc, as there wasn't any way of doing so - however there should at least be a group photo coming along!

Thanks to all those that turned up and made it such a great day. Here's to the next one!

Cheers for organising a good day out, only a few bruises this time around for me

[jontera]

Again Thanks for organising today.

after removing the layer of mud, discovered a few (5) previously hidden "hits"

definatly up for doing it again and I'm so glad that i brought a change of clothes and a spare pair of shoes.

It was great to meet up with fellow Foggers

[Alchamist]

Well, went to get in the bath to remove the large film of mud all over me, and counted 11 bruises just on my chest and stomach ... goodness knows what my back is like!

Glad you enjoyed the day .. will have to do it again!

Thanks to all for a great day and to Alchamist for organising it all. Managed to come away with nothing but a couple of marks.

Hi All )

Firstly would like to Thank Jay for organising such a fun day out, Dannii and I couldn't stop talking about it.. All the way home ) , and we are definitely up for round 2 ;o)

& My apologise for being late ( but tom tom did send me an extra 120 miles on top of the 87miles that he first stated Mind you, we got there in the end But I am sorry

Thanks to all that came, You made it great

I must say I have never been so terrified in my life the thought of being shot by something that travels over 200 miles p/h , but it was FUN!

Dannii & I would like to know when the next one is as we'll be there ;O)

Thanks again for a great day

Thanks to everyone for a brilliant day out, and for making us so welcome on our first ever FOG event.

We really enjoyed ourselves, and all have some 'war wounds'. Some worse than others. Little Headbanger is still buzzing about winning the stand of, haven't had the heart to tell him that they prob avoided him as he is young, and most of the others had their own vendettas to sort out. He can't wait to tell his mates and show of his injuries.

On the way home we saw 3 green ovals on the hard shoulder (one being towed by highways agency) that just made the day even better.

Thanks again to all for a brilliant day.

Woke up this morning and found another "war wound"! ruddy gert bruise on my knee. I ache in various areas, but luckly the hit to the jewels hasn't left a lasting impression.
The most sore one is the one to my chest that Dannii got me with!

[Alchamist]

Both Jo and I have been "walking wounded" today

Still would do it all again ... and we shall! And who knows, we might even get some more FOG nutters out with us ...

Sound's like you guy's and girl's had a blast, sorry i could'nt make it this time funds would'nt allow it. But maybe you will let me play next time.

[bobbinsjob]

so so jealous, sounds like you had loads of fun and i love paintballing.

Sorry Phil, I'm still giggling but in the group photo, you look like an Argentinian POW in the Falklands ringing home lol

[andysd1]

i think the next one should be crazy golf or ten pin bowling, or for a real laugh, bowels

Hi Jon

I am sorry that it was MY Darling Daughter who got you in your chest:oops:....But hope this makes you feel better , she got me in the back ..That girl has no mercy I tell ya

[jontera]

she seemed to enjoy it once she got into it. At one point she was stood there firing off paintballs like a demented rambo. I think that i got my own back (so to say) by getting her in another game, or it could have been the other way around. You can tell her that the bruising has started to subside and the numbness has gone...I think that I will live.

it was great fun though and I can't wait to "round 2"

well I hope you did get her back Jon, because that was more than I did but she did tell me she would shoot me if she got the chance and she did bless her

I'll just have to get her next time
