The Dangers We Will Enevatably Face

The Plan...


Fill 20 balloons full of helium.

Each balloon will be attached to a message.

Let off 20 helium filled balloons in a wide open space in London.

See where they end up and with whom they end up with.

Sounds pretty simple but there are dangers in the way of our quest to carryout the small world experiment. One being the wind. Natures cruelest force, hater of umbrellas, enemy of wigs. The wind may be useful as a renewable energy source, but don't be fooled it can turn on you at any point. Not enough wind and our balloons won't be carried far enough up to travel any further than to the next garden. Too much and we risk are balloons being impaled on the near by trees.

The second danger is small children. They love balloons, who can blame them what isn't to love, but handing one over to a small child results in one less to find it's way to a distant land. Also don't be fooled by the ply of the child who promises to let it go for you. They are simply waiting to have it in there tiny but firm grasp and then refuse to let it go and you can't really prise it out of there thieving little hands without causing a scene.




The final danger to our quest and probably the least common, but neither the less one that Gemma feels we should still highlight is the possibility that it gets sucked into a jet of a plane. We are surrounded by flight paths living in London (i blame easyjet!) so it does seem impossible to avoid this highly unlikely event from happening and so we have no choice but to hope one of our balloons doesn't meet it's demise by take down a bowing 747.
