This is our new Cameron Cloudhopper sporting the very green Hope Technology livery. Manufactured in 2014 I finally managed to get round to flying it from Broughton Hall just outside Skipton. It is a beautifully made as you would expect from Camerons. For a lightweight balloon it has some surprises, firstly all the pulleys are exactly the same weight as any other Cameron balloon, so no concession to weight saving there and the parachute line is also the normal full weight line. Disappointing. However it looks good on the outside, flies well and packs away very easily as it only weighs 37 Kgs including scoop and artwork. Pictures by www.stephengarnettphotography.com
