Northampton Balloon festival delays free flying due to 'very, very gusty' weather.
Rowina Mindham lives in Kettering, Northamptonshire, but had never been to the balloon festival before."Fingers crossed they'll get them up and get them flying. It's always lovely to see them around Northampton. It's great that it's back here as well."Matt Rate got into flying from a young age and is happy the event is back in Northampton
Matt Rate, chief pilot for Vista Balloons, was inspired by childhood visits to the festival to take up flying. "There are numerous photos of me in front of balloons I have now flown, that we've got here for the weekend," he said.Chris Freeman postponed the free flying saying "its very, very gusty on the surface and even windier at the higher altitudes"The festival was based at the Racecourse from 1989 to 2008. It later moved to Billing Aquadrome and was combined with the town festival.
