Hot air balloon.

There's a hot air balloon flying in the sky now.

To the west of me, so must be over Whitebirk I suppose.

Anyone else see it?

What a beautiful morning to fly over Lancashire.

Love to fly in one.

Has anybody ever taken a flight in a balloon?

Re: Hot air balloon.

I was supposed to take a flight in one over a game park in Kenya, but the weather wasn't right, and it was cancelled.

Something definitely on my 'to do list'.

I've heard a rumour that it was Councillor Britcliffe up in the balloon, with a pair of binoculars, searching for his lost desk, somewhere in Hyndburn.

If it was he had a beautiful morning for it.

Though he'd veered off course somewhat.

It probably was because i have been to a balloon festival there, they even had a battle of britain fly past spitfire, hurricane, and lancaster, it made all the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when they flew over fantastic:)

Holker Estate - Holker Hall & Gardens

I've seen balloons near there.

Must have been beautiful. It's lovely up there.

I suppose the only drawback is, that if you go high enough, you'll see Morecambe.

:D

That'd probably happen to me too, if I saw Cashy up there in a balloon.

Knowing it might start spitting soon.
