I'm so excited to share the @TeddyAirUK Stratosphere flight with you. The full flight was nearly 4 and a half hours, but here it is condensed down to a few exciting minutes @barnardos @BarnardosNews @BarnardosCymru 🚀🎈

Preparation for launch- I'll just sit here whilst the team beavers away. #stratosphere #barnardos

[Barney @TeddyAirUK]

Let's do this!

[Barney @TeddyAirUK]

Launch date is confirmed! I will be riding to the #stratosphere on the morning of Saturday 25th August. Stay tuned for updates throughout the day @barnardoscymru @barnardos🎈🎈🚀🚀☀️

[Barney @TeddyAirUK]

In just a few hours I'll know if we're GO for launch tomorrow! I'd have butterflies in my stomach, but they weigh too much. #stratosphere @barnardoscymru @barnardos 🚀🎈

[Barney @TeddyAirUK]

My capsule is complete! Just time for a quick photoshoot before I prepare for launch to the #stratosphere this weekend (as long as the weather behaves itself).

String theory:
We're using nylon cord specifically designed for this type of use. It has a snap rating of 45kg- far greater than our 1.2kg payload.
We tie all our knots 6 times. 3 different people tieing 2 knots each to be extra safe
