In this gallery, I put pictures taken before taking off and after landing of the ballooning.
(Shots taken during ballooning are here:

It took about an hour to have the balloon prepared
- spread it on the ground, check the gas system, fill in warm air,
get the basket straight on and get people in to the basket.
A lot of friends were helping with the preparation.
Many thanks to them and to our pilot.
