As anyone who has ever tried to jam more than a few days worth of kit into a rucksack or beach bag will know all too well towels are the arch enemy of packing light. For something you only need once or twice a day it takes up way too much space that would be far better used for your travel speakers picnic camera mask & flippers or dare we say it a few chilled bottles of something delicious. Not only does a trad towel hog way too much space when dry but post plunge it gets everything else you’ve so carefully packed wet and somehow weighs as much as a small child. Charming as small children can occasionally be you don’t want to be carrying one around for long. The Pocket Towel is the perfect solution. Not only does it pack up absurdly small taking up less space than a lemon but it dries in nano seconds (figuratively speaking). Made from an ultra-fine woven micro fibre it unfolds to 80 x 40cm and its super-absorbency will soak up three times its weight in water. Better than a traditional towel in every way we can imagine the Pocket Towel is your ultimate travel companion (with perhaps the exception of a porter) whether you’re going to the beach for the day or the Amazon for considerably longer. It’s a backpacker’s dream and a day-tripper’s delight.

Included in this selection are ‘How the Whale got his Throat’ ‘How the Camel got his Hump’ ‘How the Rhinoceros got his Skin’ ‘How the Leopard got his Spots’ ‘The Sing-Sing of Old Kangaroo’ and ‘The Elephant’s Child’.

Balloon Flight Experience for Two Nothing quite compares to the serenity of ballooning. Gaze down over the fields, hedgerows and villages, dappled in soft evening sunlight or tranquil early morning light. Bask in the magical silence as you float high above the ground and then drop low enough to skim the hedgerows and treetops. It’s a perfect way to take fabulous pictures – and a treat to remember for many years. After helping to inflate the balloon, you’ll take off for an hour’s flight and see the world below sliding slowly by.
