As part of my Research Project (and for fun!) I've been looking at events and festivals I can go to. An event I became aware of last year and have mentioned to my family is Bristol International Balloon Fiesta - which will be on the 9th - 12th August. Since my hot air balloon flight with my mum two or so years ago, I've had an interest in ballooning, and to watch more than 100 take off at once sounds amazing!

Another type of event I've only recently found out about are Birdman Rallys. They happen across the world, and I've found two in the UK. One in Worthing on the South Coat, the other in Bognor. Again, they both sound like amazing spectacles - people in costumes and flying machines throwing themselves off piers, a competition of sorts, either for fun or for science! The Worthing event is on the 18th - 19th August, while the Bognor website isn't explicit in dates. (http://www.birdman.org.uk/go/page?Welcome)

These events are weather permitting of course, so here's hoping this year we'll have a nice warm summer! (ha!)
