I wish I could go camping with people on FP
Just a heads up guys, I'm thinking of organizing a paint balling trip for sometime before Christmas. Anyone know any decent areas that are in central England?
There is a really awesome outdoor paintball centre in a forest just outside of Doncaster but I don't think that's very central heh [url]http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Bawtry+Paintball+%26+Laser+Fields&daddr=&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=18.650964,40.341797&ie=UTF8&ll=52.928775,-0.681152&spn=4.742825,10.085449&t=h&z=7[/url]
Facepunch paintball? sounds glorious.

I've been quite a few times and it's brilliant. Although it's the only paintball place I've ever been to.
Damn thats a long way away o.o
I'd actually suggest doing it near london. That site is good, but pretty inaccesible without a car (as a lot of them are) however I should imagine at least one of the london sites will be near a tube station, so it for people like me who probably wouldn't have a car, it would be a coach/train journey and then a tube ride.
Yeah one near London is probably easier. Although that one I posted has perfect transport to it, I only live 2 minutes away and have used the transport to/from there a lot. There is a bus from Doncaster train station that goes directly to the paintball.

I'd be up for something in London when I get my rail pass sorted
London sounds good then, I am moving into a student house in September too, so might be able to accommodate a few people staying in my room if needs be.
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23924011]I think next time we could probably do with more girls, just so couragedog has someone to talk to about shoes and handbags and other womanly things[/QUOTE] Well, I was there.

Why not just call it " looking around an old building?".
Why not just call it 'Urbex'?
[QUOTE=Tea;23939026]Why not just call it " looking around an old building?".[/QUOTE] Not as catchy
Urbex sounds like some sort of mental condition or medicine.
[QUOTE=Mattz333;23925339]Ah sweet, custom title. Time to become an elitist prick :smug:[/QUOTE] not big enough :smug: [editline]04:01PM[/editline] i didn't even know something like this was going on but i'm honestly pleasantly surprised that it managed to happen and people actually went. too bad it's in england
you guys don't deserve titles, only I do. I demand a title that says faggot in bold pink letters and links to this post. [editline]05:24PM[/editline] also, the video was boring, reshoot it and make it more interesting this time
you mean next time, which will be in a year. and yes i'll be buying a video camera for then
[QUOTE=B-hazard;23938827]We did Urbex in London yesterday, though most FP'ers probably don't want to do that.[/QUOTE] I suppose I could probably nip down on the train, arrest you all for trespassing and be home for tea
[QUOTE=Acezorz;23938574]London sounds good then, I am moving into a student house in September too, so might be able to accommodate a few people staying in my room if needs be.[/QUOTE] This would be good if possible due to the potential early start (I've always had to be there for 9am) it would be nicer for people with a 3 or 4 hour journey like myself and hezzy if they could do it the night before and then stop at yours.
yeah that's what i was thinking, we'd be able to make a whole day out of it that way instead of just an afternoon
What station would be best to arrive in London at? I'm considering coming but I'll see how much transport costs first
There's a good paintball near Hemel Hempstead, it's within an hour of London on the train from Euston.
Harrogate>Leeds>KGX>Euston + rtn = £34
I would've gone if it was in America :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;23941254] and be home for tea[/QUOTE] yeah it's a bit lonely at yours
