Good pictures, but I'm surprised a balloonist would fly in such conditions

Being a balloonist myself i am absolutely gobsmacked and amazed that anyone
would even contemplate flying in those conditions!!!!

Just for once i am lost for words.......

I just hope the weather for the big Bristol Balloon Fiesta this weekend is
not so 'interesting'
