Ballooning from Bath

I don't know how to describe the sound. A sort of rumbly hissing from the sky, duration about 3 seconds. Not loud enough to make me jump, not long enough to turn and follow the sound to its source with my eyes. I turned around and scanned the sky; or rather, I scarcely needed to scan the sky as this great yellow inverted tear drop passed close overhead.

On long summer evenings, the balloons of Bath fly over our home / training centre; here's a view taken just yesterday evening. We've more pictures in our pictures of Melksham Wiki.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
