British adventurer flies across South Africa in a camping chair tied to 100 helium balloons

The skies above South Africa are filled with weird and wonderful creatures, from giant vultures to miniature sunbirds.
     But those looking to the sky on Monday saw something even more unusual... a mad Brit in a chair with party balloons tied to it.
     Like a scene from the smash Pixar film 'Up', Tom Morgan, from Bristol based company The Adventurists , took to the skies near Johannesburg.
     The daredevil flew 25km (15.5 miles) and reached heights of 8,000ft (2,438m) suspended from 100 helium balloons.
