Archived trip from old website run by ElaineA
Every year, balloon enthusiasts from around the country converge on Canberra to show off their weird and wacky balloon designs and test their ballooning skills. The spectacular goes for 8 days http://www.events.act.gov.au/whats-on-in-canberra/event/9002302/canberra...
Riding around the lake in the mornings is one way to appreciate the spectacular. Boring people might drive to the lake and observe from near their cars.
By far the best way to appreciate and bewonder the balloons is from kayak. On a perfect day, balloons will even dip their baskets into the lake.
No doubt others will run kayaking trips most days over the 8 days, so here is day two.
Feel free to dress up in an outfit/hat as weird and wacky as some of the balloon designs.
It's often nice to bring some tea/breakfasty nibbles to share as we watch the balloons.
You must have done a "come and try" or kayaked with me before. Please let me know in your sign up.
Make sure you check your emails - if there is too much or too little wind, the balloons don't fly, so I might call off the kayaking or postpone it.
