I have always known about balloons, big balloons that is. During the adventure racing days around here we were often seeing balloons. If you get a chance to go up in one then take ni. . I think for the first time since Sydney Olympics we had the five Roberts clan in the car for an outing. There were seven balloons altogether at the start but with light flukey winds we were all split up and had difficulty finding an accessible spot to land. The views were spectacular with Sunrise breaking while aloft. Anton the pilot had to placate a grumpy landowner after landing with bare minimum fuel left. We all pitched in to deflate and stow the wet balloon. Then it was back to the all you could eat golf club buffet. We were balloon away with experience.
