I decided to see if I coud inflate, fly and retreive the balloon on my own with noone else around. So I strapped on the bike to the rubbish bin and off I went. Huge amounts of fun and some fitness even!

Practice run on mounting the bike

Balloon is inflated and waiting for departure

Looks a bit odd with no-one in it

Spectacular countryside at this time of year

A great shot of the shadow and bike seat

Very interesting reflection photo over a crop of Lupins

Railway into the distance

Landing, It was slow so I left the bike on.
