An overnight at Bristol Balloon Festival

10th and 11th August 2018

Friday 10th August

After Dave and Sarah returned home from a no-flight zone on Thursday we popped back up to Bristol Balloon festival on Friday night to bed down for the night in the balloonists camping area - Dave's brother flies balloons!

Saturday 11th August

An early (5 am-ish) start to the day - it was flyable for the dawn mass ascent - the only flight of the weekend :)  It was off to the arena to get the battery balloon ready for take off with Sarah flying for her first time!
















About an hour later we were on retrieve - balloon located and packed back in its back - just like a genie in it's lamp!

Fab morning spent crewing for the battery balloon :)
