Re: Hot Air Balloons.

Brill pictures Meg & Mags.

We have an annual event here as well, Meg.
This year's is coming up next month, and loads and loads of them will be floating over that day.

https://www.thenorthamptonballoonfestival.co.uk/

My friend's husband took her up in one for their wedding anniversary, but I must admit I wouldn't go in one, I'm too much of a coward.


P.S. Just thought - why is this in Gardening?

I think I'd prefer a dirigible
It is a wonderful experience, TessA. Went up in one a couple of years ago, going up is fine - coming down can be a bit bumpy!

I have never seen a balloon fest,..just the odd one or two,...they must take up a lot of room,when deflated on the ground.

Re: Hot Air Balloons.

The international Balloon Shown is 8th - 11th August this year.

The Suspension Bridge is closed to traffic and pedestrians from 6:00pm - Midnight as the volume of traffic and pedestrians crossing it could create structural stresses on the bridge.
