anyone doing it? or know of anyone doing it?

I've been a few times years ago, but can't remember what it cost per person?

is planning permission required? or could you do a certain number of days a year before PP is needed?

what sort of insurance would be required?- I assume the cost would be horrendous

what sort of out lay would we be looking at to say cater for up to 15-20 at a time?

could fit in well for a sheep farm, holding days thru the summer and autumn.

not a serious serious idea but i'm in a good location.......landlords (NT) might not approve thou.
 
A farmer local to us did it about ten years ago, and to be fair it was bloody good, gang of us went with yfc and had a great time, it was about £30 then, but for some reason I don't know he knocked it on the head two years later. I think insurance was a killer.

Insurance would be the killer I think, other option could be some sort of outdoor laser tag.....but that's not really the same, there's no pain involved for starters!

Often thought about doing that....but I know how much a paintball hurts!

I think I've read a story of someone using paintballs to mark stock but they used soft paint balls.

Thats why the paintball guns are called markers, not from sheep though. Forestry clearance started it by making them for marking trees
