Paintball

Paintball at Go Ape organised by GBU's Entertainments Committee. Only 11-people signed-up to go. That surprised me.

I'd heard that getting hit by a paintball hurt and the safety briefing at the start added to my worries, so I spent most of the beginning of the first game, CTF, hiding behind a big tree. A shot in the back (which could only have come from a team-mate tired of my cowardice) calmed my fear. Getting hit by a paintball's not nice and I'm sure it has the potential to be dangerous, but I've had worse. I've got a round bruise where one of the two paintballs (both in the back hit me), but the worst injuries are the insect bites.
