Hot air balloon bother
1:18pm Monday 23rd March 2009
Visitors enjoying the sunshine outside a South Lakeland hotel were in for a surprise when a huge balloon started drifting their way.
A hot air balloon preparing to take off in a field near to the New Dungeon Gyll Hotel, Great Langdale, Ambleside got into difficulty when it started to drift towards the hotel, at one point resting on the roof of a parked car before snagging on a barbed wire fence.
Gazette reader, Steph Jones, sent in a picture of the incident on Saturday afternoon (March 21).
