Balloon Regatta London
Did anyone see the 40 balloons flying over London this morning ? Apparently they started off around 4.30am in Shoredtch and are heading to Brentwood in Essex. The Regatta - Lord Mayor's Hot Air Balloon Regatta 2016 How fortunate that the weather was benign, unlike the last few days.

I missed it this year, but did see it by chance last year when I was cycling along the Thames to Greenwich. It was a similar clear, bright and sunny morning and a wonderful sight to see. I then had to go over Blackheath and towards Lee and I could see them the whole way.

Zero press coverage (that I saw), either before or after the event ! A pity...'ZG
