Competition Results April 2012 — Balloon Bursting
Coldstream Balloon Bursting Competition 22nd April 2012
Sunday the 22nd of April was Coldstream's second competition for 2012. I looked at the weather before hand in the week and things didn't seem too good. We knew we were to have bad weather at some time and possibly thunderstorms, but luckily for all of us the bad weather didn't set in until late in the afternoon and all the people that wanted to fly had a go.
