Across the fields




You don’t learn to walk by following rules, you learn by doing, and falling over, and it’s because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over. It’s the greatest thrill in the world and it runs away screaming at the first sight of bullet point.
The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.

The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.
