    Question Paintballing // Go Karting

    Ok, change of plan. Instead of going away ive decided to go paintballing / go Karting with m8 during this week, but ive had so many bad experiences with both in terms of being ripped off.

    Go Karting is usually loads of money for 20 mins and paintballing the guns dont work and the paintballs are ridic expensive


    So can any of you guys recommend some places to go for both in and around London/ SW London or surrey


    Thanks all

    Re: Paintballing // Go Karting

    Buckmore Park in Kent would be the place to go for gokarting.

    AFAIK, the longest circuit in the country (1.2km) and some mightily quick twin engined karts.

    Bloody good fun

    I've just checked the website, seems they've upgraded to 390cc singles, so still pretty quick/maybe quicker.

    Going paintballing isnt actually too expensive but they rip you off inside by only letting you use their paintballs on the day. Which cost something like a fiver for 100.

    I've found thier website is poorly laid out with info difficult to find, poor staff (in the past) too.

    Best place in the south east is Sittingbourne, websites easier with getting info accross to.

    Re: Paintballing // Go Karting

    There's a good go-karting track near Hoddesdon, North of London - twin engines again. Can't speak for the price though - I went on a corporate day out.

    There is a good woodsball site in Westerham

    http://www.nrgpaintballgames.com/

    sadly you'll never find punter sites that cheap - if you get into it , then playing walk-ons is a much cheaper way to play. Eg last time I played a wlak on I think it was £15 "green fee" with Paint at £25/2000
