peter_6095 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Had a great flight on Saturday from Barry's field. 79km round trip in 1hr56 mins. A personal record on both distance and flight time. Great weather - bring on the summer for some more decent x-country (without thick gloves and down jacket)! Saw this balloon on my trip.

Guest Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It's one of my favorite things to fly with a ballon Our local Ballon is the Triumph international one ( a large pair of breasts ) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_6095 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Cool pics, Peter that looks it's over Hurtmere golf course Yes - there are lots of golf courses around there so well spotted - or did you check the metadata on the photo (stamped with GPS coords by my iPhone thanks to the kind people at Apple)? Here is the route I flew: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1004129 I caught up with the balloon again near Hankley Common (and...yes, I did check that the DZ was not active - as I guess the balloon did too). I never thought that I would say it but parts of Surrey are truly beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_6095 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 I spoke to the Virgin Balloon guys last night at Barry's field (when I eventually got back there - many thanks Ian and Luke!). They said that the clients love seeing paramoters buzzing round them. Let's go balloon chasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I called my local Balloon club, and they said the same thing. The clients liked to see a paramotor buzzing them. Even said I could get a free flight sometime. Cool..... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
