@joeagerlach@BristolUni Yes indeed, we did fly yesterday morning but the skies were rather murkier! We flew over the Uni itself, photos to follow in the coming days...
It's that time again π
Happy International Balloon Fiesta, Bristol!
Keep an eye on the sky this weekend for our University of Bristol balloon β€οΈ

FLYING UPDATE - Tonightβs wind speeds are higher than balloons can fly in and the direction of the wind (which is heading in the direction of Avonmouth and the motorway) means that we are sad to let you know that we are unable to fly as scheduled at 6pm. 1/2
A fantastic 1hr 10min flight from Ragley Hall this morning in special shape Slick the Dragon. Quick winds at times but down to 1kt at one stage!

The F1 racing car balloon also flew making its UK debut. Tethering to follow throughout the morning.
We're on our way up to the #MidlandsAirFestival! Looking forward to taking part in this annual event alongside hundreds of other balloons πππ Are you going too?

The Midlands Air Festival features the largest gathering of hot air balloons in the UK! With over 200 hot air balloons entered, our mass ascents morning and evening are going to look stunning!
