LOG: Black Beck Farm, Bouth 27-28 August

[wrightc41]

Hi all

I attended the NWBAC autumn balloon meet this weekend at Black Beck Farm, Bouth which is on the southerly edge of the Lake District National Park. 

I was there for the Friday pm and Saturday am launches where the weather was superb with light winds and clear skies and of course superb surroundings.

There were 18 balloons booked and these were noted Friday pm:
G-
BWYN
ROXI
STVL
CJRK BWS
RAYO
CIDU
CIBI
CCMN
CIUA
KAYI Snow Business
UMBS 

Saturday am saw these extras
CBPW
SCFC
ROSK
FVUK Fort Vale - maiden flight

Will upload some pictures later.

I then headed over to York for the Saturday evening launch and night glow which Keith has already covered so nothing further to add.

I did visit a number of GA fields on the way up and back including the open day at Sherburn which I wasn’t aware of and which had a good turn out. Logs to follow once I’ve sorted them out.

Thanks

Colin
