Heavy rain and high winds have put paid to our plans for a nice afternoon photographing hot air balloons tomorrow. The first official flight of the National Hot Air Balloon Championships was due to take place tomorrow (Sunday September 19th) with Boyle Camera Club members on site to record the event. But the Championship Director, Joseph Leahy, tells us that because of the weather, it is highly unlikely that any balloons will take to the air tomorrow. So sadly, our planned photo-shoot is cancelled.
The balloons will be there all next week, with 40 taking part in any of the 11 proposed flying slots - so there should be a photo opportunity for us there some time!
The Ballooning Championships take place at New Castle House, Ballymahon, Co Longford, until September 24th, with flights (weather permitting) at 7.30am and 4.45pm each day.
Hopefully, some of us will find time to head that way if the weather improves (Monday and Tuesday are forecast better!).
