Eeklo Balloon Meet July 2000

[zz]

A bit dated, but inspired by the post about the recent Eeklo meet, I thought I would dig out the log from my only visit to this event in 2000.

We did a day trip to/from Calais, visited a local G.A field, a few hours in Bruges, saw the launch, a quick stop at City Europe and home!

90+ balloons and a great day out!

Eeklo , Belgium 29/07/00

Great to see your list , I went before in 2002,2003 and 2004 when we took our own balloon G-BUNV, but hadn't been back until this year. Great
little event. This year was obviously down due to Metz being on the same weekend, Therefore next year should be good if anyone planning on going over. Just over an hours drive from Dunkerque, with normally Saturday and Sunday PM lifts and a few Sunday Morning as most local pilots will not get up for the morning flights.

Cheers bobg

Yes I shall keep it in mind for next year!

G-BUNV ... That's a yellow and green balloon from memory??

You're right about the mornings, we pitched our tent in the corner of the launch field and got up to about half a dozen balloons inflating! Considering we had about 90 the night before, it was quite a surprise.This was in 1989 by the way
