    Is anyone seeing the two giant hot-air balloons in the sky over the Croagh/Rathkeale/Ballingarry area? Quite an impressive site. Have a we a couple of budding Steve Fossetts living in our midst?! They're heading in the general direction of Knockaderry / Kilmeedy now.

    Yeah I saw one of them. I'm in the Feenagh/Kilmeedy area and it was pretty far west of me. Beyond Feohanagh/Raheenagh direction. Nice to see and i wouldn't mind giving it a go.

    Only one of them? - wonder where the other one went to. Yeah it would be a great birthday present alright, a very therapeutic experience.

    I heard today that it was something to do with the X-Factor. Either contestants or judges etc. Apparently they were in Adare Thursday.

    Yes i heard about that too. Just a pity they didn't throw Louis Walsh into one of the balloons and let it sail out over the Atlantic.

    What's your problem?

    Be a little careful saying that on a public forum. The last one who made such a threat got 18 months!

    The larger of the two balloons landed in Feohanagh.

    The other balloon (blue with spiral colours) landed about 15-20 minutes before the green one.

    This was the balloon that landed in Feohanagh, shortly after launch.

    The natives were probably out firing arrows at it.
