Bristol International Balloon Fiesta 2008
2008 marked the the 30th anniversary of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, however the weather not a fiesta to remember. The Thursdays Special Shape launch looked promising at first and came close to going ahead but the winds picked up and so unfortunatlley it did not. The highlight of the fiesta was by far the Friday PM launch which saw over 100 balloons and a fair few shapes launch despite slightly gusty conditions.
