Thumbs up My balloon outing pics

as posted in another thread I thought I would share these with the rest of you -

I did mine in the UK the other week in sunny Nantwich I bought it for the G/F`s Christmas present - and I must say its worth every penny here are some pics.

Inflation of the balloon




Can you spot the scoob (whilst taking off) she wasn’t happy about this pic ("you and that bloody car")


Couple of stunning views




Dont look down - yes they are cows!!


A bumpy landing in some bloke’s field


Did get cancelled first time due to weather - but we was lucky as some peoples was cancelled 7 times or more

Next on the list is swimming with sharks (Yeah right)

It was this or jump out of a plane which worried me a little so I opted for this

not as bad as you think - really smooth and quiet - the only thing is when the pilot puts the burners on it burns your head/neck bigtime!!

they did tell us to wear a cap though

I've jumped out of a plane for charity. 12,000ft. Raised nearly 2k for Christie's

Enjoyed it so much I'm doing another one on the 17th July but this time it's just for fun!

Maybe if I ever get to go on a balloon ride they'll let me take a parachute and I can jump out of that as well! I can avoid the bumpy landings that way too!
