ULTIMATE NIGHT! ARRRRGH!!!!

Ultimate night is the mountaineering club’s social event of the year! I can see why! With the dressing up, stupid games and free stuff, it certainly was a night to remember ... the ‘ultimate night!’

Got to Lindsey’s at 7:00 with Lindsey, jojo and struggles already there (Mark appeared later). Got our pirate gear on, and after spending 20mins trying to fasten my waist-coat, decided I needed to do some exercise in the coming weeks! My flat mates had helped me make a sword earlier in the week, and I was in full pirate mode! ARRRGH!!!

Got on the bus and accused the driver at sword point of ‘steelin me treasure!’ thought up rank names on the bus and harassed everyone. Jumped off the bus in town only to run into international rescue!!! The THUNDERBIRDS!!!

After getting our sheets from ultimate outdoors, we began to go from pub to pub, from bar to bar, club to club, completing idiotic challenge after idiotic challenge (and doing pretty damn well I might add!). One included someone belaying a chalk bad with a pint in it up the bar and someone trying to (and succeeding with minor spillage) to drink it! At other times people were blind folded and chalk balls were thrown, chalk feet prints were left by Mark all the way to the next bar I think.



We had the knack for getting completely hopelessly lost in-between almost every bar, not helped by the fact that we insisted on running everywhere to get there faster and win! Got separated somewhere down Lancaster in-between the last bar and the canal.

By 10:30, most groups were at the last bar, had a while to chat to people, and I managed to start a bit of an ice cube fight with the ice cubes I stole from the last challenge (I have a thing for ice cubes for anyone that doesn’t know!). Points were added up, and we came 3rd!! Winning a nice rucksack, and lots of free stuff inside it. Lost of other free stuff was thrown at us during the course of the night too!

Decided to head back about 11.30 as me, Lindsey, Struggles, Mark and Matt had a 9:00am exam the next morning! After waiting a while for a bus we worked out they had stopped, and got a taxi. On the way back, Matt discovered his rucksack did indeed have two straps (a concept he had been struggling with for the last hour much to the amusement of everyone else). We stopped for a quick climb up the back of spar, and struggles got electrocuted by putting his hand fully into the light! Back to Lindsey’s to collect stuff then we headed back to our flats.

Certain people still had blue faces in the morning after being ‘smurfed’ by some blue smurfs. We were all pretty tired after going home at 2:00, only to panic and start revising! Exam went ok, just hope I’ve got the 60% I need to go abroad next year!
