@Culture_Crit Here's how London looked from a hot-air balloon back in 1993, when I flew over with @buhabs

@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...

@JAJBurnham @BristolUni So glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us - you'll be pleased to know the society is still running strong in 2023!

@ruthkipping @BristolUni Thanks for the photo and I hope you didn't mind being woken! #BUHABS

FLYING UPDATE - Tonight’s 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

[Bristol University Hot Air Ballooning Society @buhabs]

@BristolUniStaff @bristolballoon We're excited! Keep an eye out for our red and white balloon 🎈 #BUHABS
