We drove from Bristol to the Welsh countryside near Chepstow and set up at around 7.00 pm ish in a field where we knew the owner. We took longer than usual to set up this time as our crew consisted of Pilot and two teenagers, including myself. Phil however, who was retrieving, was also on hand to help!
Rigging the balloon and getting it ready to fly was fine, no problems as such, it just took a lot longer. It was my first ever flight and I was really nervous because I didn’t know what it would be like, but I was also really excited!

Pilot, Crew and Author beofre the flight.
