Baloo was our biggest competition to date with 27,000 tickets sold! The Live Draw took place on our Facebook page on the 16th of October 2023 with Jake Causley from Cornwall winning Baloo!
As we hit our maximum ticket sales, we have donated a total of £1,050 to Jake's chosen charities - Thousand Year Trust, Plant One and Working Woodlands Cornwall.
Jake Causley from Cornwall won with 10 tickets!
We’re so pleased for Jake and all of his family on winning Baloo, we know he will be so loved and we can’t wait to see all of the adventures that Jake and Baloo go on!
Jake said ‘Winning Baloo has been an insane experience, and will be absolutely life-changing for me and my family! For a long time now, it’s been a pipe dream of mine to experience some campervan holidays, trying a bit of wild and free ‘van life’ – and now I can realise that dream with Baloo!
What’s extra special for me, is that this dream is one that I have shared with my brother, parents, and close family. So now we can all live the dream together, with Baloo being shared between us all.
I honestly have to keep pinching myself when I see Baloo on my drive! As a nature-lover, I can’t wait to get out and about across the UK’s beautiful natural spaces, experiencing slower, more sustainable travel, and I’m sure Baloo will venture even farther in the future.
I can’t express how thankful I am to Jack & Elise, and how in awe I am of their craftsmanship – Baloo is so gorgeous, and they’ve thought of absolutely everything! Land Pirate Conversions are a special duo indeed! Thank you so much for unlocking this opportunity for me!’
