Michael Palaeologus Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Stonking great hot air balloon over ED - well Peckham Rye. Quite low, drifing south east.As its the glorious 12th, I am allowed to take a shot? It would look magnificent mounted on the wall.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I saw one last week about six in the morning - must be a regular flight in the Summer. Would love to be aboard as long as MP wasn't taking potshots.

Marmora Man Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I too saw the balloons and envied them. I took a balloon flight as a birthday present years ago - over the Herefordshire countryside. A wonderful experience.One thing I noted was that the balloonist had little control over exactly where we landed - this made me wondewr if, just occasionally, the London balloonists may land in someone's back garden rather than Dulwich Park, or Peckham Rye.

rememberwhen Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I saw it yesterday, approx 6.15 am over Barry Road. It drifted towards Forest Hill.I think it said "Happy Birthday" on the balloon.Saw it again this morning at about the same time, pronably over Dawsons Heights.

Nero Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yup, I saw it too, yesterday morning around 6ish. Wonder where it takes off from and lands?

H Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 We did this last year for the other half's 30th, it was amazing and I would recommend it to others. Takes off from Hyde Park or near Vauxhall (depending on wind direction) at sunrise.
