[Photo] Airsoft preview

The first part of twentypence's stag do yesterday was a day at the Mission Airsoft site near Tuddenham.
Our party was just a part of the group (I'd say about two thirds), the rest were other regular players. In this lot of photos I concentrated on our lot, there will be a few more of the others, especially as the organisers have asked for copies of the photos, too.
They ran a variety of games throughout the day with the last being a special "Stag Run" for twentypence which was basically a version of running the gauntlet. twentypence and a few of choice mates - Chris (his Best Man), raggedy_man, Simon D and one of the snipers - were in a group and had to run along a row of buidings around and in which all the others were sitting, guns on single shot. The objective for the Stag's mates was to protect him from incoming fire and IIRC, they almost managed. :o)

On to the photos, I'm surprised that I got as many photos out of it as I did, considering the poor light and not having done this sort of action photography before. There's some dodgy focus, obviously and interesting framing isn't that easy, either but I had to do a lot less cropping than I thought I would.

So here's a selection of the best, the full set is on flickr. raggedy_man, please pass this link on to your airsoft forum.

When I got home after Airsoft yesterday, I thought I should take off my boots before entering the room because I had been running around dirt and mud all day. Looking at the soles, they were pretty clean, except for a bit of gravel and quite a few BBs stuck in the treads. ;o)

I think I'm going to have another nap now. I got up a lot earlier than intended but couldn't sleep because I thought the landlord was doing something to the house. When I had discovered it was the tree branches scratching on the windowsill, it was too late to go to bed again. *grump*

Oh well, putting some washing in, finding something to eat, watching the first part of Blackbeard on SkyOne as preparation of Pyrates and relaxing a bit more will fill the rest of the day. Long weekend off with nothing on at all next weekend, yay!
