The Irish Hot Air Ballooning Championships in Lough Key Forest and Activity Park, Boyle, have come to a close, with the weather allowing balloonists one final chance to traverse the beautiful North Roscommon skyline on Friday morning.
This year’s championships — the 54th edition of the event — created a myriad of memories among young and old alike.
Flight took place every morning and evening daily, weather permitting, this week, with some spectacular footage emerging from the kaleidoscope of colour that brought excitement from Lough Key Forest and Activity Park to nearby fields for landing in Roscommon and Leitrim.
Take a look at the Roscommon Herald’s video below…
