Which famous person would you take camping with you? 
In honour of the announcement that the Duchess of Cambridge would become a volunteer with the scouts, we decided to take to twitter and Facebook to ask our customers which famous people they would most like to take on a camping trip and why. Can you guess who the favourite was?
The favourite by a long way was the head scout himself Mr Bear Grylls, though it seemed the reasoning behind it was most of you wanted him to do all the work!
But Bear wasn’t the only famous face mentioned, so we’ve gathered together some of the highlights and the reasons you gave.
Funny banter around the camp fire
Comedians were a popular choice for fun around the camp fire, the top votes were:
Peter Kay
Lee Evans
Victoria Wood
Jack Dee
Billy Connolly
Sid James (Itd be a right Carry on…apparently!)
Miranda Hart
Great tales to be told
Many of our customers wanted to hang on the words of these people:
Prince Phillip
Chris Bonnington
Stephen Fry
Ranulph Fiennes
Lady Gaga
Prince Harry
David Attenborough
John Snow
Simon King
The workhorses
The pleasure of their company wasn’t enough for some customers, they wanted these celebs to help them out.
Ray Mears
Jamie Oliver
The Hairy Bikers
Donkey from Shrek
The ‘Need I explain’ category
A few customers got a little romantic with the camping trip and wanted to take these people, they claim for ‘obvious reasons’
Julia Bradbury
Cheryl Cole
Bradley Cooper
Peter Andre
Pippa Middleton
Duchess of Cambridge
An eclectic bunch of camping partners to say the least. This only goes to show the diverse nature of our customers. So a congratulations to Bear Grylls on being the go to guy for a camping trip.
Is there a celebrity you’d take with you camping that we haven’t mentioned? Leave a comment below and let us know.
