Very - took off from just past Roxwell, landed in writtle ag grounds. They said they saw 6 in total from up there.

I've seen my Dad's pics (digital) and a lot are pretty good. My mum has an APS SLR, so have to wait for develop etc. When I've got those I'll add them (I can add a few now actually).

They were up for just under an hour. Would have been slightly longer, but there was only one landing space so they had to grab it. Wind never went above 4mph, so they didn't get far (about 3 and a half miles).

Much reduced res as emailed to me:

I think I'm left of the pic, behind and slightly above the trailer.

Roxwell?

Towards Melbourne flats

Towards C'ford town centre.

I love hot air balloons. That's really cool. The only ones I've been in I've jumped out of

I'd love to do a proper hot air balloon trip - but I don't think I'd feel safe without a parachute
