Paintball

It has almost been a week since the paintballing and I still have the small but painful bruises to prove it! It was a great experience and really fun. It kinda felt like being a kid again, diving about a forest with gun and mask evading the enemy gunfire, diving for cover and chasing after flags. Reminiscent of being in a forest when you were a kid pretending you were on Endor. Fortunately there were now silly, furry creatures running about with logs and slings. The paintballs were difficult enough to cope with. Even though it may sound stupid to compare to the real life hell that is army combat you can't help but feel you get a slight taste of what it would be like in a real life situation. After suffering many hits though I've come to the conclusion it's probably a good thing I didn't join the army! My left leg was riddled with the small, circular red bruises for about two days after which they turned green and have now turned a dull brown. Slightly pricey at £40 a day excluding extra paintballs but great fun and a good laugh. Gareth took some cracking pics too which I'll hopefully stick up here or on the website. Gareth's probably to blame for most of my hits, come to think of it. He's the one in the Motherwell scarf! Git!
