Would you be up for... Paintballing? - SV650.org

13-01-09, 08:07 AM

In a similar vein to my other thread, this one is to establish numbers interested in paintballing.

Again, date & cost are unknown (read the other thread to get the gist of the idea).

Locations I would need to research a bit more, but the ones I know of:

Red Dragon, which is near-ish Criccieth.
I forget the name of the place, but there's one not far from Conwy.
There's a place in Chester that does it too.

NOTE: This thread doesn't mean I'm promising to plan anything, just throwing out ideas. Anyone that wants to throw out more ideas, feel free below. Although hopefully I can plan something as simple as "turn up, blow each other away, maybe stay over & get drunk somewhere, go home with a smile knowing you put a cap in Hovis' rear!"

Again, poll. Hovis/Gid, sorry.

Although I have enjoyed paintballing in the past, I do get carried away with it which has led to some 'over zealous moments' - I'd give this a miss in the interests of keeping my friends!

But surely that's half the point of paintballing. You can be over-zealous without actually killing someone (unless you went to the extent of shoving a flash-bang down someone's throat last time - it'd be impressive to walk away from that!).

Mike, see that, if it's done mid Wales, you could get overly agressive & not worry about loosing friends. The taffs don't count as friends afterall.

I happen to know a paintballing centre near Aberystwyth

. Good site, relaxed atmosphere - bit hilly for us fatties though!
