Challenges seems like a good idea, along with just your run of the mill day out :V How about paintball?
[QUOTE=Dierag;21860284]Challenges seems like a good idea, along with just your run of the mill day out :V How about paintball?[/QUOTE] Paintball isn't that social.
Hezzy you got fatter
Paintball would be awesome, but because of how expensive it is, maybe it's just not possible straight away? I mean, it's like £20 on average, which would have to be paid in advance, and it's kind of a big risk. Although, at the risk of sounding like a rapist, why not all go camping or something? Meet in London for the day, then later on in the evening, just move slightly out of the London area and pitch up somewhere for the night. Barbeque and acoustic guitars sounds like a dream, in the summer.
Well you could try get offers, I know coke zone does stuff with paintball (use coke points to have a day out) although I have no idea where it would be hosted. I'd get kicks out of shooting some of you guys if i went though. (ima go lurk now)
You know that's not a bad idea. I have been camping pretty much since i was a sperm swimming in my dads testicles so i would feel right at home. we could go to Cornwall for a weekend or something. It would take a hell of a lot more planning though. Food, tents, sleeping bags and a medical kit. bear in mind that accidents can happen and we will be out of civilization for a while.
[QUOTE=Hezzy;21858283]What? How dare you accuse me of such a thing[/QUOTE] I might come along just so i can get Hezzy back for banning me that one time I also suggest everyone that's ever been banned by Hezzy to come along ANGRY MOB! OR Friendly not sure
funnily enough, hezzy and rayvenq did actually try to plan a facepunch camping trip a few years ago and it was met with a lot of approval, but it seemed to fall through and never happen. camping would be very awesome, but if we were to go, i'd advise we book a legit camping site though. i've a bit of experience with camping myself as i did the duke of edinburgh's award a few years ago
Paintballing can be very expensive. I did it with a group of friends at one of the delta force centres around easter, we got tickets for £10 each and then a further £20-30 was spent on paintballs. I like the sound of camping idea, I was thinking whilst cooking on how we could organise some kind of roadtrip. What I propose would be a roadtrip to the south coast, (I have a largish car I could drive and we'd only need 1 or 2 more depending on numbers) say start in Sheffield, head south to Birmingham, on to the outskirts of London and then down to somewhere like North Devon by the beach picking people up at each of the major cities (perhaps heading by FP HQ whilst in BHam?) Once in North Devon spending a day or two on the beach lazing around, camp fires bbqs etc. and then head back dropping people back off at the major cities. Could do it in August time and make it a facepunch summer holiday. [editline]08:27PM[/editline] As for the experience side of things, the soc I'm very involved in does a lot of camping/long hikes/feeding large numbers of people/treating all kinds of injuries and I should be officially first aid/outdoor navigation qualified by then.
I might join you later, I'm going to go study in London.
Why not go hang out at the Trocadero? They have bumper cars.
Yeah I'm all for that. Hell, I wouldn't even mind paying for most, if not all of the food and camping stuff, my birthday's in June so it can be my little birthday treat to Facepunch. That'd actually be awesome. Who would seriously be up for that? Hell, maybe even stay at a cheap-ish B&B somewhere with a park nearby. That way, we could chill for a good while in the night, have a barbeque, etc, still have warm beds to go back to if it gets wet/we can't be bothered to camp. I dunno about you, but particularly the guys, sometimes when it gets to 3 a.m., I'd just kill for a shower, a shave and a hot bed. Especially a shave. I'm such an optimist. Oh well, trying to make this summer as amazing as possible on all fronts. So why the hell not throw a little Facepunch in there, it was either you guys or Reddit.
[QUOTE=Nelth;21858652] And I really can't see anything special at Tea (no offense)[/QUOTE] None taken, I cant see what all the fucking fuss is about, I was almost the ugliest one there.

There are decent places for camping around and in my town. (Chesham) Best of all it's easy to get to - it has its own Underground station, yet it's in the countryside.
[url]http://www.camp-sites.co.uk/london.htm[/url] found one here, in epping forest, it's in the middle of london for £6.50 per night. gonna search for some more
Fucking midlands, why is it so far from London :frown:
[QUOTE=d3450;21860701]Fucking midlands, why is it so far from London :frown:[/QUOTE] Megabus. Tis dirt cheap. [url]http://www.megabus.com/uk/[/url]
The train would surely be a better option?
[QUOTE=d3450;21860759]The train would surely be a better option?[/QUOTE] Train is far more expensive. If you can get to somewhere the megabus goes from easily then it's much better and doesn't take much longer. For this weekend the megabus cost me £15 return and took 3 hours 20 mins The slow train return would have been £51 including my student rail card, return and would have taken about 3 hours and 10 mins

God damnit why weren't I born a brit. :argh:

[QUOTE=Acezorz;21858448]it's true, bengley was filming me 80% of the time the camera was on![/QUOTE] It's his secret gay crush for you manifesting himself subconsciously. Just go with it. In all seriousness though that actually looked like a pretty good time. If I was made of money I'd fly from California to be in the next one. :ca:
wait... She really is just 13?! and her parents let her go to london with people she met on the internet?
:siren: [b]Free hugs[/b] :siren:
It's so damn tempting to come along to next one, maybe if you guys are out and about in London I can drop by for a few mins to say Hi or something.
I might actually attend, depending on my fucking exams :sigh:
[QUOTE=BugsyXoX;21860795]Potential cross dressing and arse rape Can I come?[/QUOTE] Standard affair at the last meet I think you'll find.
