Thursday 16th July - Bristol

Early morning launch from Ashton Court during a 'weather window' took the big red thing over the city in a NE direction, clear skies for the flight and a gentle landing near a fishing lake......owners very helpful with the recovery!

Tuesday Morning 14th July

Launched at 0620 from a maze field on the western edge of Bath....weather front was closing in from SW rapidly but managed a good flight NE at 7-8kts, landing at Sodbury Common before the rain caught up! Passengers were delighted !

Bath AM 1st July

Nobody else wanted to fly this morning, so we led the way. Decided the weathermen may be over pessimistic. Lovely morning ....bit hazy at times but pretty good ballooning conditions.......good launch at 0710 from Royal Victoria Park, landing after a fairly speedy flight at 5000ft near Iron Acton at a lovely farm run by lovely people........what more could one wish for when asking permission to remove 2.5 tons of basket and balloon from someones field.....
