ZZ is obviously going to post pics of all the balloons that flew Sat am so I'll just post a few of mine. We had three visitors to the campsite Thursday morning.

Most of the rest of my pics are virtually the same as ZZ's, we must have stood fairly close to each other!

[filair]

It was hardly worth the JA reg one leaving Ashton Court,must have travelled all of
half a mile.

[keithh]

It was less than that to the campsite but it took off again and flew on!

[zz]

All pictures from Saturday morning now posted.
119 /120 of those that flew. Missing G-OKEW if anyone took one of on that morning- I could add an old picture but that would be cheating!

Tethered balloons also now posted- missed the half-inflated G-BYNN.

I was stood halfway up the right hand side (as you look from the bottom of the field), outside the launch field for the launch.

I then went into the launch field for the tethering, but it didn’t really help. The conditions got poor so quickly, several of the balloons weren’t tethered for long. By the time I’d walked down to them for a photo, they scrapped them!

[keithh]

Yes I was about there but up by the coffee shop. I rarely go in the arena as I get better shots outside.
