Hot air balloons over Dover
- 7 April 2017 07:24326341As seen on BBC news now. Heading over castle it looks.

- 7 April 2017 10:42326352Great photos I missed seeing them after being up most of the night I fell a sleep in the chair with the cat on my lap at the time they went over.
- 7 April 2017 11:03326355Hi Ya we got to work and only just saw them but it was hazy I did my best with my phone camera.
But if we had known we would have got here early and I would have brought my Canon camera.
How do I find out when they will next be crossing? The last time I remember seeing them was a few years ago and I work overlooking the Dover Port.
If anyone is able to tell me I'd be so grateful.
Thank you
Clair

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

7 April 2017 18:53326390First i knew of the balloons was the cat going mad at the window resulting in her getting tangled in the blind and pulling it off the hooks on top of me whilst i was in bed resulting in me getting up earlier than i planned this morning,but for the damage done it was worth seeing them.Guest 1385 and howard mcsweeney1 like this - Jan Higgins
