Cluster Ballooning

[Brian Hays]

Would have to be sligthtly more than mad to have a go at that!

[Bill Dewison]

Blimey! 😮 I want a go of that!!! 😀

Originally read the title as Cluster Bombing, so to see the balloons was a pleasant surprise 😀

Cheers, Dewi

So helium has got another use besides doing Mickey Mouse impressions :lol1:

I would love to have a go at that – it looks fantastic. Just imagine how peaceful it would be without the deafening noise of a hot air balloon burner being fired every 30 seconds.

I’d be dropping bloody ballast mate. I’d be ballasting myself!

I’m thinking more about how peaceful it will be six feet below the ground. 😮

seriously though… ide love to give it a go, but not at that sorta height. i thought, yeh great stuff, have a few hundred feet of cord anchoring you on the ground while floating around. then someone winds you in when done. but not what they are doing… 😕 thats just nuts….. nuts oh Hazel nuts, cadburys make em and they cover my pants in chocolate 😉 :lol1:

Oh dear, are the long hours getting to you again mate? :lol1: :lol1: Everyone knows you eat milky bars… tut…. trying to cod us into thinking you were eating manly chocolate bars! 🙄

😉 Hey, we could get loads of balloons made up with uksignboards on them and have a competition to see who can get the highest! 😀 Bagsy going first! 😀

Cheers, Dewi

Perhaps we could all attach balloons to ourselves, and the one who gets posted back by a schoolkid in Saskatchewan wins a book token. You go first, Dew.

[Robert Lambie]

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: your on mate… thats it everyone.. dewis going first! we will make sure your in the lead before joining you… 😉 :lol1:

[Mike Grant]

It does look fun, it looks sort of safe …. loads of balloons and you get a parachute ….. still a bit high though 😛

[Peter Normington]

Take a lookat at this link from the ballon page looks a lot more ballooning
fun and a bit safer?
http://www.parabounce.com/

[Robert Lambie]

that looks more like it.. 😉

only problem, there is only one balloon. 😮 what if your playing someone very comtetative? like dewi…. he would have a pin for sure :lol1: :lol1:

[Andy Gorman]

I could do with one of those next week. Got a big panel to fix to a shop. Boing…….drill…….boing…….screw panel……boing…….splat against building……

[Carrie Brown]

:rofl: you guys make me laugh!!!!!!!!!

[Bill Dewison]

Now then, best of British! 😀 We nip down the Wacky Warehouse and prise those balloons from the kiddies. Then a mad dash over to Keith Chegwins house for some helium 😀 Fun run down to B&Q for some rope and a deck chair and we’re a whisker away from some skyward fun! 😀

The paraballooning is probably far safer, but the Cluster Ballooning looks more impressive and more achievable with some basic supplies! Gets my vote 😀

i can see it now…. im outside washing the car and i hear “KOOEEEEE ! ROB!!! up here mate! as i look up all i can see is dewi’s feet and him leaning forward shouting grab the line and drag me down… after a few jumps i shout its useless… i cant reach (no sarky jokes you lot 😮 ) as he drifts off into the clouds i carry on washing my car. later that night i go on boards.. only for nik a hundred miles up the road to report an unadentified flying UKSB member. :lol1: off to bed i go only to wake up to jill & stevo post saying she saw the same feet and heard the same KOOEEEEE 😮 :lol1: :lol1:

[Bill Dewison]

It could happen! 😀 Seriously though, I’d love to give it a go… may have to anchor myself to something heavy, but it’d be a bloody good laugh. I’m not sticking my company name on the balloons though incase I fall to earth in a somewhat undignified manner :lol1:

Cheers, Dewi

[Carrie Brown]

:lol1: Well if anyone ever decides to give it a go, count me in, I could not pass up an opportunity like that ……. it would be a laugh ….. but I do want three saftey lines atached to me so I wouldnt float off 😮 :lol1:

Carrie 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I’ve heard of a cluster fuck but never cluster ballooning.
Sounds dangerous.
Love….Jill 😉

[Bill Dewison]

If I had a ready source of helium, I’d be having a go! The only thing worrying me now is how to get 3 safety lines for Carrie… anyone got a B&Q Warehouse discount card? :lol1:

Cheers, Dewi
