What a great weekend Balloons Over Basingstoke was in 2007  – perfect weather and some great events going on the arena culminating in the skydiving.  

The only dampner on the weekend was the fact that several of the balloon launches couldn't happen due to the foot and mouth outbreak a few miles away, but that didn't spoil the enjoyment of the thousands of people who turned out to watch everyone else.
