The bright blue voluminous balloon shaped thing wasn t a balloon at all. As it turned out, it was an escaped tent meandering on the stiff evening breeze. Now here was a tent that had not been firmly secured, not pegged down, not tied down, all the basic principles of camping ignored. Perhaps someone had forgotten to pack the rucksack with pegs or everything else they were supposed to have put in there. It would seem that camping accessories were the very last thing on the mind of the intrepid camper that had allowed his or her tent to escape, to roam free in the lower atmosphere! Or maybe the tent miraculously came to life, perhaps having previously appeared in a George A.Romaro movie?

Viewers of the early evening news may have been surprised to listen to a reports of a UFO travelling somewhat erratically and also at very low altitude, some viewers may have secretly thought the so called UFO, bore a remarkable resemblance to a tent blowing, as Mr Zimmerman put it, in the wind. Fortunately, a national alert was not sounded, panic stricken mobs did not spill into the streets and the world most certainly did not end.

Meanwhile, what of the owner of the tent? We the reader will assume from this point that the owner is a he, for surely the female of the species would not be so disorganised as to allow the cavalier canvas to ride the wind into the sunset, freed of any obligation to provide shelter against the perils of the night. He s somewhere around, wondering what quite has gone wrong, he s perhaps confused and approaching a state of mind that could just tip him over into panic. But no, he s not doing any one of these things, he hasn t even noticed the escape, he s sat at the back of his split-screen VW van, messing about, or to the trained eye, playing, with his newly acquired GPS navigation gizmo. In addition, he s not the only one. His equally unaware best buddy is happily necking a cold beer whilst silently chuckling at his friend s ineptitude with all devices digital. Needless to say best buddy can do better than this, it s only a pity he s not prepared to keep an eye out the window occasionally so he is able to see the patch of bare earth where the temporary shelter was inexpertly pitched. The only two things in his rucksack are a 6-pack and another 6-pack. If perhaps these guys had visited http:www.mycampingstore.co.uk they might have avoided this disaster, as not only would all types of camping accessories be for sale, they could have also been advised of the importance of tent pegs.
