Balloons and Drones over Rumney yesterday.

Anyone else see them or got any idea what it was in aid of ? About 18.15 on Wednesday evening, a few hundred helium balloons floated overhead accompanied by at least 3 drones, one with a white light, one a blue light and one with a red light.

Re: Balloons and Drones over Rumney yesterday.

Was recently reading that there is a finite amount of Helium and recent shortages have concerned scientists particularly those in medicine.

Some say it�s a load of bollocks.

I wonder if any of our resident polymaths could offer any insights?

That's what me and the missus thought but I believe they were from the Newport area. The direction the balloons came makes me think they may have come from the Traveller's place on the coast road.

Anyone heading to The Coast Road only to find Rover Way would be pretty disappointed
