The early part of the evening was spent testing the Mk II bear cub outside to see how readily he inflates. Unfortunately the proved to be fairly unsuccessful and were curtailed by the onset of the rain.

Despite this set back I am not disheartened, our front garden is not the largest of areas to test in and the wind at ground level is pretty dire due to all the fences, hedges and buildings up the road. The fact that the bear partially inflated and was blown about was heartening. I need to take him to the heath to test him properly and to finalise the ground stake attachment points.
