Monmouth

Breezy launch from Monmouth(Dog Poo Park)........and set off SE to fly over Raglan Castle eventually landing to the West of Usk in an irate farmers field, who is now on the 'don't land here' map which all pilots have, the information does not always get round to all the pilots and can cause a bit of bad feeling with landowners, who have the final say on whether a balloon or any other form of transport can land on their property. It must be said that the vast majority of pilots respect the wishes of the landowners, and in the case of our balloon, of 97 flights last season, only two landowners were upset at our arrival. Most landowners are very happy to see us, their children love to 'help' pack away and often get a small gift for their efforts, whilst the owner gets a cracking bottle of wine/pre-agreed landing fee.
