19.01.2022 Almost flew this afternoon but the wind conditions on the launch site ended up being prohibitive. Hope to be flying tomorrow and have some photos to share.Almost flew this afternoon but the wind conditions on the launch site ended up being prohibitive.

15.01.2022 All exams passed and a few more flight hours in. All in all I would say it was a productive camp. I’d like to thank Martin Tregale for organising the camp, all the instructors, examiners, crew and presenters at the camp. I learned a lot and it couldn’t have been done without them. I would especially like to thank Steve Kenny for Instructing me and Adele and Neil for being my crew for the camp.

14.01.2022 Sorry for not having more updates up, it was a bit busy yesterday. Went for two flights The morning one went for just over 1 hour and was very calm overall ... The afternoon one was 1.5 hours and had a bit of a hairy takeoff but was smooth sailing from then on Photos and videos will be uploaded when I have a chance.

02.01.2022 Quick stopover at Hay to refuel the car and ourselves. I’m happy to almost be at the camp. Looking forward to some good flying.

02.01.2022 No flight this morning as the wind conditions weren’t right. I’m pretty confident we will be flying this afternoon, in the mean time work on getting as much exam prep as possible.No flight this morning as the wind conditions weren’t right.

02.01.2022 After 9 hours of travel Mirabelle arrived at lake Cullulleraine safely and even had a quick hot inflate to check that things were ready and correct for tomorrow.

01.01.2022 Mirrabelle went out for a cold inflate and burner test this morning to make sure everything is ready for the camp in July.

01.01.2022 Decided not to fly this morning, the wind was a bit quicker than I would have liked and was only going to get worse. The video was from about 15 minutes ago

01.01.2022 For anyone planning on attending the balloons, the launch field has moved to the rock garden today.
