Bristol Balloon Fiesta

Recommended Posts

My wife wanted me to drive her down to Somerset to stay with her old friend for a few days, I was rather reluctant until I discovered that the Balloon Fiesta coincided with the trip. The weather at 06:00 am was perfect for the mass ascent which got under way about 06:45. It was advertised that about 160 balloons would take off, but I doubt there was that amount. All in all it was well worth the journey down from Scotland and the early start to get there.

Nice those are Kirisute, I'd have liked to the inside the fence where the balloons were inflating. But the Security Guard, a spotty youth of about 18 wouldn't let me in, even tho' I offered him a tenner lol.
