at first I was going to go here at the end of my road trip for the Northampton balloon festival but weather forecast higher winds for the end of the day so up I got at silly o,clock in the morning to get there for 6 o,clock launches.first time I had visited a mass launch of balloons and must say it was brilliant especially as the sun was getting up makes a great sight for pics ,def got to get to Bristol next year.

Lovely shots Bob, I think there are few sights to rival a mass balloon ascent against the backdrop of a clear, morning sky.

Saved the best until last ;-) Wind was a bit too breezy to fly the big red box, plenty of 15+ kts landings reported, it takes a big field to slow it down at that speed!
