Paintfest

Paintfest
 
My favourite paintball festival, at one of the UK’s best paintball venues, 3 days of paintball at one of UK's finest paintballing sites.
 
NPF is one of the best paintball sites in the country, never fails to disappoint and they always put on a great spectacle and for many years it has set the bar for scenario games in the UK.  Every year we play there we always take something back to help us improve our site, which I think is a great credit to the guys at NPF and the hard work they put in every year.
 
I dont think i can stress how much of a festival paintfest is it has a great sense of community and is my favourite of the games we play and it is a 3 day event, it has a free bar and entertainment on the Saturday night which is really unique and the NPF guys really know how to party.
 
Sunday, which i made only slightly late, and my first job was to wake up the lads who had been camping and drinking the night before, and what a challenge that proved to be David Hodder, as he does like to party and drink!  We just about were ready for the game to start and my gun decides to not work.  Well what a dissapointment!  A great game, and i missed the start due to gun problems.  This year the militia was not as strong as previous years, we had a younger crowd and lacked the hardcore eliment of ex-pro players like Paul Cain and Thomas Holilngton (who is insane by the way) and does the kind of things which you wonder how the hell did he do that and survive.  
 
 
 
National Paintball Games is fast and has a huge venue with lorries, land rovers, roll and rock, an awesome western and the Hannoy Hilton which is a Vietnam themed film-set type area which looks like something from a bushtucker trial and by that I mean scarily good.
 
This year the game seemed really organised and everything is nice and close, so even with 1000 players it feels right with not too much walking when you are coming off the field, and you can find people in the base camp.
 
A big thank you to Ged Green, Fraser, Kerry and Stuart for a great event and we will be back in force next year, but i am definitely bringing Thomas Hollington, as we missed his insane paintbalilng moves.
