@VOLRANGER398 It’s entirely weather dependent. If it’s too gusty then balloons can be buffeted about and we have to put safety first. Some balloons tethered during the day Saturday but there were lots of other things happening in the arena thanks to a great programme by the @YorksBalloon team
This weekend we’re at the Yorkshire balloon fiesta. It was a bit fast for flying this evening but the night glow was great! Looking forward to our first flight in the morning. @YorksBalloon#YorkshireBalloonFiesta#Yorkshire

We were hoping to fly this morning but some mist rolling in denied us that chance and it’s looking a bit gusty to launch this afternoon. Here’s one from Saturday
Both balloons launched from Ripley yesterday afternoon and headed north west. This was the view from G-GLAW’s basket before landing at Middleton Top. You can see why we do it, right? #Derbyshire#hotairballoon
Managed to get a few flights in over the weekend before the weather turned today. On Sunday both balloons launched from South Normanton and flew over Pinxton, Selston, the M1 and Hucknall

Both our balloons flew this morning, launching from Marehay nr Ripley and flying for 1hr 30 and 1hr 45. Beautiful conditions and there may have been a cheeky fry up after all the hard work.
