April 8-10

Three brilliant days of ballooning....started in Bath on Thursday morning, with a lovely clear sky and light winds.....then onto Marlborough in the evening where Julian jumped in his bi-plane and took photos of the balloon in flight. Friday morning saw us in Raglan for an early start in brilliant sun and light winds.........then off to Cheltenham for the first of two flights.......stop over in the Premier Inn next to TGI's, where we got fat and had beer!!
The following morning was another cracker.....light winds and no cloud with a lovely gentle landing at Staverton Airfield..........Saturday night was a breezy affair from Atworth.....landing in Radstock, where we had to wait for a chap to unlock the gate to retrieve.......said chap was in no rush like......hinting that the summer fair was coming and donations would be accepted!!!

Winds are up to much for the next few days..........
