1st Balloon Tour of Catalonia February 2015

Airborne Adventures 155

Libby, David, Lisa and I were recently very privileged to be invited on the 1st Balloon Tour of Catalonia which ran from February 22-27.
During our week we flew three times and were joined by fellow balloonists from all over Europe. We travelled through and flew over some amazing scenery and had a fantastic time. The memories from this event will stay with us all for a long time.

Monday Feb 23rd our first flight; From the Pyrenees to the Costa Brava.
Distance – 67 miles, Time – 2 hours 28 minutes, Altitude – 14,000 ft.
Tuesday Feb 24th was too windy to fly, so we walked for a few hours amongst the stunning scenery of Montsec.
Wednesday we visited Barcelona as again it was too windy to fly.
Thursday Feb 26th we had the most amazing flight from Ager to Cubells over some of the most stunning scenery I have ever flown in.
Distance – 19 miles, Time – 1 hour 20 minutes, Altitude – 2400 ft.
Friday Feb 27th another beautiful flight at low level from Balsareny to Cabrianes.

Great flying, great organisation, good times.
