Modelling In Bristol....

Exclusive Ballooning's model balloon team lead by model ballooning guru Ben Alford were in Queens' Square in the heart of Bristol today for a special ceremony with the Lord Mayor.

The Mayor was on hand to open the new cycle path which connects the Sqaure with Ashton Court - home of the International Balloon Fiesta. The path skirts the dual carrigway and takes a fantastic route through the harbour area.

The opening of the path coincides with the beginning of the balloon fiesta which takes place this week.
