Extreme Outdoors Paintball

Is swimming with sharks an extreme sport?

I would say it is, I wouldn’t ever go swimming with sharks for the following reasons

1. I don’t want to get eaten alive.

2. I am quite scared of the sea (mainly because I don’t want to get eaten alive by a shark).

3. Sharks aren’t the only sea creatures that want to eat you.

4. It’s quite cold.

5. Without a doubt water will go in your ears.

6. Whales are massive and will undoubtedly try to eat you.

7. There may be jelly fish around and they will sting you and eventually you will die from that very sting.

For these reasons I will never swim with sharks or any of the other above sea creature/people eaters.

Paint-balling rocks my world! I can not wait till the next time someone asks me to join them on a paint-balling expedition, you know I’ll be there in my gear ready and waiting to shoot some paint-balls at someone, I like to hide in the bushes and ambush people.

I would never shoot someone in the face though, have you seen what happened to PJ out of Byker Grove he was actually blinded and he was only about 10 at the time, although I don’t think he had a mask on which was a little silly thing to do.  I always wear a mask.

My other half went on a stag party weekend recently and the main event of the weekend was p.a.i.n.t.b.a.l.l.i.n.g,

He all his friends and the stag all really enjoyed themselves, although they  all thought it was quite expensive as they also ran out of paint balls and had to purchase more paint balls, paint balls are also very expensive.  Personally I wouldn’t go paint balling as I don’t really like to get hurt and I think people would gun for me as I scream really loudly when I’m hurt.  I might go if someone pays for me and I can wear lots of padding and got extra balls.

When on holiday in the Dominican Republic, myself and family opted to go on a ‘Argocat’ day trip.

This involved my family sat in what appeared to be a small army tank type of thing. It had 6 wheels and had two sticks which you controlled the steering!

All I can say is…..what a laugh! I have never laughed so hard in all my life. These things were not made for comfort at all. I was thrown around like a rag doll, up and down pot holes as big as me! For the next few days I did have a few bruises but well worth it!!

I recently went Quad Biking, it was awesome!!

It took place on a cross country track, with all varieties of terrain…..from woodland to fields. We were led by a lovely instructor who briefed us before we set off and she stayed with us the whole time. We booked an hour slot, so in this hour we had our briefing and were given our instructions.

We didn’t require a driving licence, but a bit of driving experience was useful, so if you have ever driving on the bumper car’s at the local fair or driven go kart’s then you should be good to go. So get booking your Quad experience.

Anyone planning a birthday party for themselves or a friend, I definitely think that you should check out the options available on the internet for fun outdoor things to do.
There is a wide range of things to do like, kayaking, climbing, raft building, caving and abseiling. A few of these things I have done myself and think are brilliant ideas for birthdays! It gets all the group of people together to have a laugh, pull together as a team etc.
There are so many outdoor activity centre’s that are perfect for children’s birthday parties, all of which staff are fully trained.Birthday Parties

Most adults love acting like big kids doing fun outdoor activities like Paint balling etc. Well my personal favorite has to be the high wire forest adventure…where you are suspended by zip wires in a forest climbing and abseiling off giant objects. Trees, bridges. You are harnessed in so this is completely safe.

I was scared to death of heights before I went to what I would of considered to be the worst place in the world…I can’t begin to tell you how much fun myself and friends had. It gets the adrenalin pumping, gets you out of your comfort zone and just fantastic fun. I haven’t met one person who could disagree with me.

So go ahead and give it a go!!

I recently thought that I would brave it and go Paint balling for the first time; however I wasn’t overly convinced it would be such a great idea as I later found out. Rather than a nice pleasant day with banter, fun and friends…..it turned out to be a dog eat dog world out there. Being blasted by my nearest and dearest repetitively, that was until I surrendered and ran to some form of safety.

All in all I have to admit that although I came home full of bruises I did actually really enjoy the experience and would fully recommend anyone to give it a go. It’s great to take a lot of good friends for an awesome day out.

God, I love paintballing. Would you like to know what my favourite part of this truly thrilling activity is? The bruises. Nothing makes me feel like more of a man than comparing a massive bruise with the ones my mates have sustained at the hands of my paintball gun.

The girls absolutely love it. Nothing can bring the girls flocking towards you quite like a giant yellow bruise on your distended beer gut. Unless, of course, you’re lucky enough to get a point-blank shot to the face. Then you’ll be knee-deep in women for at least until the swelling goes down.

I have my next paintballing trip booked already. Book yours!

It’s not hard to see why paintballing has become such a popular activity for blokes on a stag do. Put very crudely, it gives them a chance to exercise a few animal instincts without finding themselves rapidly jilted by their betrothed.

After all, the husband-to-be can’t very well exercise any of his other instincts on the night and expect to get away with it. Nope, he’ll have to get his jollies from showering his mates with balls of coloured paint instead.

Fully grown men playing army in a little forest… It’s such a life-affirming image to conjure up isn’t it?
