And two events to look out for: A mass charity flight over London is being planned, tentatively scheduled for May, but will always be relatively "last minute" due to the corridor we can fly in. And in the Autumn after an aborted attempt late in 2014 there will be an attempt for 100 balloon to cross the Channel more info at Its all in French!

Both sound very interesting! I'm also interested in the Newbiey event as that's only half an hour from here Thanks

Update on the cross London flight now scheduled for "a" Sunday morning in May/June, WX dependant so dont ask which one, or where from!
It will be well worth watching out for, plenty of balloons ;-)
Will update on progress

Update on the cross London flight.
Will take place on a Sunday either May 31, June 7,14,21 or 28 all entirely dependant on WX. Launch site dependant on wind direction.
Should be a minimum of 50 balloons taking part.

Cross London flight is on standby for this Sunday, its not a public event (for lots of reasons) so I cant reveal the potential launch sites(s) but will be north of the river!
