Northampton Balloon Festival 18/8/18

[starlifter]

Drove up to Billing Aquadrome for the Northampton Balloon festival and really wish I hadn't bothered. While I appreciate that the stiff breeze may have made flying tricky, and the Ricoh team struggled valiantly to inflate their balloon, being charged £10 for the car, as per website, plus another £5 to park and watch not much happen was a bit of a rip off. Lots of disappointed and angry people. Rant over - photos and log below:
