Dizzy Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ouch last three comments may land you all in trouble in some way Great pics Algy and some I can recognise the ones like Stockton Heath Swing Bridge/Morrison and the wobbly white bridge at Howley near the old warps. That used to freak me out as a kid when it swayed as we walked over it from grandma's house to Victoria Park and back. .....but the others I can't quite place. Clues please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 You're a balloonist Algy? Me and my husband had a balloon flight last year, very bumpy landing which was quite scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I heck Trace!, don't take any notice of what i say when replying to Baz and Co. you have to realise you have to be as daft as them, I found the photos on the net and thought that they would be of interest to all on here, any objections and I shall remove them. They are only small format so of no use for commercial distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Lol - I have a very similar series of photos I took of Diss when we were in the balloon, so it seemed plausible that you'd done similar in Warrington - my next question was going to be where you managed to land, at least we have lots of fields to choose from round here!

Dizzy Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 You would never ever get me up in a hot air balloon even if you offered me many £1000's. Thanks for adding the descriptions Algy and they all seem so obvious to me know you have said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 OK, thanks, I've got my bearings now. Are these photos going to disappear any time soon? Roughly two months then I have a clean up, I now tend to leave old Warrington photos on a while longer however they will go eventually.

Peter T Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Aldi used to be Kwik Save. Algy, these must have been taken maybe 10 years ago? As Greenalls is still there and various other places that have been added or removed. Peter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The large greenalls building burnt down in Oct 2005 so the Stockton Heath ones definately predate that date. Perhaps we should all do a 'spot the difference/changes' them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Dizzy, I will give you 5,000 pounds if you go up in a balloon. Genuine offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not stupid Cleo and you'd offer someone else on here twice as much to sit in their garden and aim and fire as I passed over... even though they would probably do it for free anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
