Laser Combat @ Center Parcs


What can I say that will give this activity the respect it deserves?! The actual journey, to the other side of the world…I mean Park…. was an activity in itself! We really could have done with a tea break before it began. Don’t even get me started on the map itself and the directions we received.  The ‘hike’ to laser combat began at 9.50a.m and we eventually got to the Outdoor Activity Centre at 10.35a.m. The activity should have started at 10.30 but the staff and other guests had been very patient and were happy to wait for us.
There was an instructor who explained the rules and workings of the equipment. It all sounded quite complicated and tactical but great fun. Most of us just thought; if I see someone from another team…..shoot!
The aim of the game was not to be seen, make like a tree and be camouflaged…some were better than others at this…Jordan!
After much rolling around in the woods, hiding behind trees and underneath foliage, the team who had been shot the least…..survived…I mean won.
A good time was had by all; then the trek back to the lodge, in the rain began. Center Parcs today…..Snowdon tomorrow…..to be continued…..
