Hot Air Ballooning Club

Metz Balloon Festival, France - Summer 2009

14 balloon club members took part in an awesome road trip to France for the 2009 Metz balloon festival! The festival involved hundreds of hot air balloons and broke the World Record for the most number of balloons to ascend in a line - 329 at once!! The club took over two balloons along with two pilots.

Below are just a small selection of the amazing week long ballooning event and some of the antics the group got up to on our campsite in the sun!
