Northampton Balloon Festival 1999 (Sat 21st Aug)
Col Started conversation Aug 21, 1999
The whole family got up at 04:30 this morning to go and see the Northampton Balloon Festival morning race.
We saw around 80+ balloons take off in all shapes and sizes.
From the Tescos Shopping Trolley to the Action Man balloon and several double balloons. With one balloon connected to the top of another.
What a marvellous sight !
Pity we're all knackered now and snoozing in chairs (apart from the rowdy kids of course).
Hope to get back for tonights race at 18:30 and Balloon glow and fireworks.
Only problem was getting there.
Signs ran out at a vital stage in Northampton and a road was closed.
So we had to go round the town again to find the race course.
Well worth the effort of getting up early for though.
