The Battle of Canary Wharf

It was 1pm on Saturday 25th October as the troops assembled at the agreed location outside the Paintball Centre in Canary Wharf. Although we had to endure an intricate maze of paths in order to get to the meeting point, our spirits were high and we had our minds set on victory. Ten minutes of briefing and one set of padded vests later, some of us were starting to fear the 3 hours that were to come... Holding our heads high, we entered the battle field, determined to give the 'other lot' a run for their money.

We emerged three hours later - muddy, exhausted and covered in paint but with adrenalin pumping and an amazing time behind us. I must admit we sustained some minor injuries (some cuts and bruises, fractured ribs... you know, that kind of thing) - as they say, you should've seen the other guys!
