They are the best. They have/had a place in Monaghan which is brilliant. Set in a forrest it really is great. They have been doing it close on twenty years now. As already said very professional.

I would really recommend Todds Leap. It is a fantastic place. From stag parties to Team building from work, it has everything. Its reasonably cheap for what you get. Its a pity its in Ballygawley tho ;)

not sure about the team building aspect of paint balling it usually ends up with the manager getting a real doing, great craic when your doing it but the repercussions can be prolonged
