A Hot Air Balloon moves with the wind direction and whatever the wind speed you feel no movement or breeze, plus you have the radiant heat from the burners; even in mid-winter you are far warmer in the air than on the ground.

Binoculars, video or camera are a must. Bring plenty of film/card memory.

If we are unable to fly on your preferred date your flight is moved forward to to the next mutually convenient date.

For these reasons we cannot guarantee balloon flights on specific dates. Most importantly there must be wind speeds of less than 12 mph, reasonable visibility, a stable atmosphere and no rain or snow.

Extended hot air balloon flights of approximately 1 1/2 hours duration are also available by special arrangement.
