What a morning!

It's been a high flight from the start for everybody to get us over the mountains.  Last night there was a starlit sky, nice all round and the track meant we missed Mont Blanc .We’ve been very busy throughout the flight but we’re both doing fine. We had a problem today getting Milan ATC on the radio but that’s all sorted now. 

We’ve heard from Clive that 3 balloons have landed. It’s still anybody’s race and we shall just keep going as long as we can.

We're now looking at our track and speed for later today; it’s going to be a very interesting afternoon!
