My first paintballing experience!

21 Dec

So as you probably know from my previous posts our works annual day out usually consists of a theme park for the day- Now this year we did traditionally visit Thorpe park and it didn’t fail us- It was a scorcher on the weather front so we started with the log flume ( well why not!) and made our way round all the thrilling rides.. to my disappointment this included the Saw maze.

Now after last years fright night i was prepared for someone chasing me with a pole- a scary clown or a few sound effects, oh how wrong i was! With a little jump in my heartbeat and covering my arms up with a jacket ( as if this was going to help with what i was about to experience) we made our way in hands on the shoulders in front of us- i was second from the front as this cancelled out the chance of me being taken from the back( it hd been said one of us ay go missing). As we walked through darkness- screeching sounds of wheels turning-axes dropping- actors with hair so long i thought id trodden on it getting in my face and some unknown creature touching my neck ( yes they touch you) i held my eyes shut for aproximently 4 out of these 5 rooms we entered and i hated every second-

The rest of the rides however pleased as usual-ice cream was shared-and fun was had all round for the rest of the day :-)

Anyway enough of the bad experiences- onto my new experience, Paint balling!

Our second trip this year was a majority vote for running around the woods shooting at each other, Dubious at first however always wanting to try it i joined in on the fun and was not disappointed.

Now i think the fear originates from the pictures of bruises, stories or dislocated fingers and fear or being on my own against a gun full of paint! This was not the case however- in our two teams myself and my various colleges headed out to battle for the flag!

During my paint balling experience i only got shot twice which in my eyes was brilliant- The first being the initial game so just getting used to the surroundings and objectives. The second was being the last girl standing and lets face It had nothing to lose so took a massive leap for the flag and unfortunately got knocked down by a glowing yellow ball of paint- Overall though we conquered and our team won outof the 5 games. I would recommend highly for a team building exercise as colleagues, friends or even as a family trip 10/10 for fun!

-I think my blonde hair kind of gave my game away!
