Hello Dear Reader

Ok I have  question for you all??

Have you seen this

On Saturday Chief Scout Bear Grylls begins the first stage in his mission to visit Scouts across the whole of the UK over the next five years.

He will be flying by helicopter to visit 24 events across Yorkshire and the north-east of England over this bank holiday weekend.

Full Story can be found here <CLICKY>

Ok now I did a bit of research

Approximate cost  of chartering a helicopter is £1200.00 per hour, so if we say it is an 8 hour day that is a total cost of £9600.00

The helicopter has had scouting graphics on the outside for argument’s sake lest say £900.00

Total cost is £10500.00

My question is, is it worth it?
