After meeting his dream girl at a festival but not getting her number, romantic Nick Hopton was determined to track her down.

So he put up posters around her home town with his picture and telephone number on it, and it worked.

Mr Hopton met a woman called Freya at the Boomtown Festival in Hampshire two weeks ago but forgot to take her details.

All he knew was that she worked in recruitment and that she lives in Horfield, Bristol, so he covered all the bus stops in the area with a poster asking her to get in touch.

Featuring a picture of him and his telephone number, the poster read: "Any help finding Freya will be rewarded with my undying gratitude and a certificate. PS. I'm Nick."

He put the posters up on Monday and by midnight that night, she had got in touch.

Mr Hopton said: "I was amazed it worked so quickly. We've been in touch already on Tuesday morning and hopefully we'll meet up again, which will be really nice."

He added: "We got chatting because we were both walking through the campsite, she was trying to find a way back to Bristol.

"I would've given her a lift but I already had a car full, so I helped her find the bus and we just got on really well, had a lovely chat and just clicked, really.

"As she got on the bus afterwards I could see that she wanted me to give her my number or something, and I stupidly didn't, so for a week afterwards I tried to find her."

He searched for her on Facebook so he said that he decided to put up posters around her home town.

"I had two options - one was phoning every recruitment agency in Bristol and asking for Freya, and the other was putting up the posters.

"It was old school, doing that. It was a bit scary putting your phone number on a poster like that, and I did have a couple of calls from blokes saying 'yeah, I'm Freya'.

"We'll see what happens now, but my job now is to go out and take these posters down now as quickly as possible."
