Balloon pass over Clifton Suspension Bridge

The weather did its best to hamper proceedings, but there was a window for perfect balloon flying on the Saturday of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta.

A load of poppies and a lone tree. From a few years ago on a foggy morning. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a poppy field locally since this one - I imagine social media has scared farmers off doing a repeat, given the number that descended on this spot#poppies #poppyfield #lonetree #foggymorning

A while ago the fine folk at @pgytech.gb sent me one of their Onemo Tac 35L backpacks to see what I thought. Well the good news is that it’s a fantastic piece of kit. I’ve spent the last couple of months hammering the hell out of it - up and down lots of hills, in wind, rain and a lot of mud (some slobber too - thanks Barney) - and it’s done a sterling job.
I’m known to take the kitchen sink out with me whenever I head out on a photography mission and you can certainly fit the sink into this bag. I’ve got a lot of chunky stuff and it can fit it all in. There’s plenty of room in the main compartment (see one of the pics - even my big drone makes it in), and there’s loads more pockets, including a handy front section, which could fit a jacket, gloves, a weeks supply of Jaffa cakes etc etc.
These images are from my first morning out with it, stomping up Crook Peak, looking towards a misty Glastonbury Tor. You’ll be glad to see there are no gurning pics of me wearing it - just the bag and the things it saw that morning. Highly recommend this absolute beast of a bag. I’ve popped the full review up on my website!#pgytech #camerabag #somerset #glastonburytor
