MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Mullaghcleevaun (<i>Mullach Cliabháin</i>) in area Wicklow, Ireland
Picture: Hot Air Balloon		  
Up, Up and Away!
by Bunsen7  19 Sep 2022
Walking back from Mullaghcleevaun to Black Hill on Sunday 18/09/2022, I came upon the strange sight of a hot air balloon emerging from the west side of Black Hill. As I continued my westward march, the balloon crossed my path overhead and I caught this image of it with Mullaghcleevaun (right), Duff Hill and Gravale (left) in the frame.

Conditions were very calm and I had previously seen at least 8 paragliders enjoying the air above Lacken.

I lost sight of the hot air balloon as it appeared to head south after Mullaghcleevaun towards Glenmacnass. I hope they got down before dark! It must be some way to take in the mountain views! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/20/comment/23655/
