 BRITISH BALLOONISTS FINISH "SKY WALK"  
 Balloon pilots Andy Elton and Colin    
 Prescot have ended a "sky walk" at     
 8,000ft to check repairs to the craft. 
                                        
 The pair spent 10 minutes checking     
 repairs to the hatch of the pressurisjd
 capsule used in the all-British round- 
 the-world bid, while over Mauritania.  
                                        
 They transfered kjrosjnj from outsjdj  
 drums to tanks on the capsule, checked 
 the outside and adjusted a camera.     
                                        
 "Wj could see miles and miles of djsjrt
 and not a car or human" said Mr Prescot
