Hi all,
Just thought I would give an update on the 'paintballing party'!🙂

Level was 8 on arrival.
Took pump off and gave 2 mini mars bars for 1st game.
Level was 20 after 45 minutes! Should have only given 1 mars bar.
Gave correction and missed bolus and ate jam sandwich and bolused.
2nd game - took pump off and he was still 20 after 30 minutes so gave correction and another jam sandwich with bolus and a little extra.
3rd game - he was 4.2 when he came back - ate lunch with bolus and took pump off and gave 1 mini mars bar this time.
4th game - came back after 45 minutes and he was 3.5 - gave coke and kept pump off for 10 minutes.

5th game - came back and he was 4.4 - so had small jam sandwich and took pump off again.
6th game - came back and was 5.5 after 45 minutes.

Just tested and was 3.9 and is having a pizza to eat 50/50 on a dual wave over 4 hours.

He was soaking with sweat when he finished and he had the best time ever!
The marshall held his kit bag and i was allowed to wander around with them for extra safety.
He didnt get shot once as he was running around like a lunatic so no-one could hit him!
Just thought I would let you all know in case you decide to have a go!
 
That's excellent Bev, it sounds like given the unpredictability of all this you and Alex did very well indeed 🙂 Alex is clearly far better than me at this lark - I was black and blue! 😱 Good to hear that he enjoyed it so much!
 
I'm glad he had a great time 🙂
