Weather being good!

Friday evening and a fairly drama free launch from Kemble airfield ........forecast was for cloud and possible showers but in reality a nice evening with a fair amount of blue sky and no wet stuff! Landed on a stud farm occupied by friendly natives!. Saturday morning and a return to Ashton Court, complete contrast to the earlier failed launch...very little wind with bright sunshine and lots of other balloons taking off....like a mini fiesta! Landed at Hengrove Park next to the car boot sale.... The evening flight from Cheltenham was again very windless(is that actually a word?) and only just managed to clear the town landing in a field with access so well hidden, a 'stargate' would be easier to spot :-D.....Landowner was great and many locals helped to pack away...Cheers you lovely Cheltenham people... It's Sunday morning...Bath flight off because of fog...pilot and Chris at the London Marathon start line tethering a Virgin promo balloon....lucky bastards!!!
