Slow start on Friday morning, Bath flight cancelled due to 'un-forecast' rain!......Friday night took us to Cheltenham College to launch under overcast skies which broke up nicely during the flight , landed high on a hill but luckily good access for retrieving and a co-operative landowner.
Saturday morning saw us at the racecourse for the next launch, having stayed in local hotel overnight. Threatening dark cloud caused concern initially.......soon broke up and sun came through to make the flight pretty impressive, landing NE of Winchcombe. The landowners were brilliant, offering FREE launch site with parking!, if we ever need it......It is amazing how generous people can be.......if you have read previous balloon reports on this site, people can be less than welcoming, however, luckily, the majority are smashing!
