Highly commended – Ballooning in the berg – I had been offered a ride in a friend's balloon - my first ride in a hot air balloon and my favourite place, the Drakensberg. The pilot was Alan Turner also from Howick. It was so very exciting to be flying way above the clouds and, lucky for me, there was another balloon visible for a short while then it disappeared below the clouds. -By Margaret Parker , Howick Nikon D5500, Sigma lens, ISO 1250, f/22, 1/160 sec
