Bristol International Balloon Fiesta - 2018

[digit]

Could only do the Thurs & Fri this year so missed the only mass launch on the Saturday, I'm sure Daz Kellett will post logs and shots here soon though

Shots below taken Thurs 9th, no flying, just tethered. Some old favorites plus a very new balloon!

Hi all
As Graham suggested, here is my log for the Fiesta.

Out of Thursday evening / Friday morning / Friday evening / Saturday morning / Saturday evening / Sunday morning that I was down there, only 1 launch happened (Saturday morning). All others were cancelled due to weather - wind on Thursday evening and Friday morning / evening, with a combination of wind and rain on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

They did tether at various points throughout, but I only attended on Thursday (2pm to approx. 6.30pm) and then again on Saturday morning for the mass launch and then waited round until about midday to see some of the special shapes tether.

Just over those two visits, I logged 144 different balloons, with 120 actually taking part in the launch on Saturday morning.
