My sons and I recently went paintballing at the Delta Force paintball site in Southampton. I booked in four of us but a couple of days before the event, my sons wanted to bring a few of their friends so after a quick phone call I was a able to add five extra players to our booking. Come the day, the site was quite hard to find so we arrived ten or fifteen minutes late. We quickly had to fill out some registration forms, grab our equipment (a helmet, black overalls, ammo holder and a paintball hopper), buy our paintballs and get put into a team with some other guys and girls.
The manager of the site then gave a safety brief which didn't really leave any stone unturned and then we were taken out into the games. The day followed this pattern Play two ten-minute halves of each 'game zone', swapping sides for each half before being taken back to the basecamp for a quick break to top up on paintballs, use the toilet and grab a drink. We would then repeat this process until half way through the day when we had lunch, which consisted of pizzas. I couldn't eat much of mine (as I'm currently on a diet) but they were good and the boys enjoyed them especially!
After lunch we were taken out into the games again. Throughout the day we played a capture the huts game on a village field, a raise the flag on the fort game, a high adrenaline total annihilation game called 'speedball' and a couple of others. The whole day seemed like it went by far too quickly but we all had a lot of fun! So much so that we are all going back again next month with a group of thirty of us! Thanks again Delta Force. read more
