A very pleasant thether of our hot air balloon was organised by Phil at the campsite in Dalwood, England.

The balloon is rigged ready for cold inflation.

A fan fills the envelope with cold air.

The crew keep the mouth of the envelope open.

Ready to start hot inflation.

The first people go up on the tethered balloon.

A three point tether to cars keep the balloon in place.

...

Maximum height on the tether is about 50 feet.
