Hot Air Balloons and wind...
Discussion
I have just seen a balloon going past at quite a height and a hell of a speed - I always thought they could only fly in a breeze, not a hoolie like today. What are the restrictions for these sort of things and wind?
They will have fun getting it down
.....last seen heading for Holland.

I think that so long as the wind isn't too high and they can gurantee landing on one of their landing sites there shouldn't be a problem.
The first AND last time I went in a Hot Air Balloon we crash landed as the pilot clearly had no idea that depending on altitude and air temperature the wind would vary in direction.
It was a fun experience though!

Almost as bonkers to be out in this sort of weather!
