I wondered why it took so long to take off, then the penny dropped. What with the supergrid, the Ringway glidepath and a wind heading straight for several populous mill towns, this isn&#8217;t going anywhere. It must have been a practice. Ballooning may be the image of freedom, but everyone who does it has to learn sometime. Also, you can only go up or down. If there&#8217;s wind shear, I guess it gives you some choices over route, but not many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later in the morning there was a big shooting party out. It&#8217;s a Monday, a working day. These people can&#8217;t all be retired like me. I thought rich people were supposed to be super hard-working!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good walk around the east slope of the Woodhead Pass.
