  BALLOON PILOT PREPARES FOR "SKY-WBLK" 
  The pilots of the all-British round-  
  the-world balloon bid have completed a
  "sky-walk" at 8,000ft to check on     
  repairs to the craft.                 
                                        
  Andy Elton and Colin Prescot spent 10 
  minutes on the outside of the capsule 
  while it flew high above north Africa.
                                        
  Mr Priscot said: "It's absolutely     
  incredible out there, we could see    
  miles and miles of djsjrt and not a   
  car or human or any life form was     
  visible, not even vehicle tracks.
