Re: Hot Air Balloon

I counted 7 people in it.
It did take me by surprise when i seen it. I was thinking to myself `what a place to go on a tour in a balloon, seeing the thrilling views over Hemel`

Re: Hot Air Balloon

We used to see them regularly when we lived in Northants as they used to have a HAB rally on at the nearby aerodrome. Always knew when it was that time of year as next doors dog used to go crazy, did not like them at all, i think it was down to the sound of the burner firing up scared him.

Nice shot - One of my dogs (Breagh) goes nuts at the burner sound from the 'Virgin' hot air balloons that go over.

They seem to have become very poular again in recent years - quite fancy going up myself.

Re: Hot Air Balloon

I`d love to also Phil, although sometimes suffer with vertigo so would not be a wise move for me Although been up in a helicopter where you could see out of the bottom of it at the front and it did not bother me
