But wait, there's more!

The great Clifton Bridge saga continues - this time with Daily Mail telling us how it was. Never let a lack of knowledge or information get in the way of a good story.  That is a great picture of the approach tho' (wonder if the guy made any money selling it to the hounds). Of course the only image missing is the one where 'The bottom of the basket just skimmed one of the suspension cables on the bridge'. Still, this will give people something to investigate for days, possibly weeks.

Beware the Splash and Dash in Britain

Shock horror as balloon dips in river! I would have thought that Aunty Beeb was above this sort of reporting.

The man who runs the suspension bridge (?) may have to investigate. My response would have to be that I was practicing precision landings. What could be more precise than trying to land on water?

Always nice when you can prove that it was you that took off in the balloon at least. Thanks to Geoff Mackay from Visualmedia, who was along once again to capture the action. Just to reiterate, that's me in the yellow balloon ZK-PUF (aka Puff the Asthma Balloon). The inflation was a little squew-whiff due to the envelope rotating a bit on it banners, but otherwise it went well. I'm definitely not in the Coke balloon. Just makin that clear okay.
