Balloon with a Story travels 200 miles

Everybody has heard of sending a message in a bottle, but here is a story with a twist.  Glamper Camper recently supplied 34 helium filled Illoom balloons to the Scout Group in Pangbourne, where new Beavers and Cubs released them to to celebrate their investitures in the 1st Purley and Pangbourne Scout Group.  

Illoom Balloons being released into the night sky

Each of the balloons, which were released from Pangbourne Primary School, had a contact number on it and the name of a Beaver or a Cub.  Incredibly, less than 12 hours later, the group received a text from fisherman Julian Barker, who found a balloon off the coast of File in North Yorkshire more than 200 miles from where the balloon was released!

You never know, a call from Australia could be next...

Autumn is upon us

Great or Gimmick?

Check out this new tent from The Monster Factory -  sold by Firebox this VW Campervan tent does camping with an attitude. Proving that if you believe it enough then others will too, this tent really does look like a campervan from across the field.  With two double rooms and standing height, whilst this tent is not a practical family tent, it is perfect for couples for festivals, for teenagers on hiking trips and as a focal point for garden parties. At £299 it's reasonably priced and if nothing else it will certainly turn some heads!
