Wait, what?!? you may think. Yes, we are indeed participating in the British National Hot Air Balloon Championship this year, which is traditionally held outside of Britain… because of the weather! :-D The event kicked of yesterday evening with a two task flight – and absolutely stunning views.

Goodbye Chambley! In the meantime, we’re safely back home unpacking our stuff, enjoying the memories we made at the Grand Est Mondial Air Ballons 2023.
