0 Comments Add Ballooning away all your worries Posted in Ballooning News on May 10, 2010 So, it’s Monday morning and again you don’t seem to be able to get yourself out of bed. Whether you’re going to a job, college or just the front door to get the newspaper, your mind is already counting the days till Saturday. A great weekend can enliven up the entire week, or at least till Thursday it can. Planning a weekend getaway or any other vacation is enough of a headache to make you reconsider your plan entirely. For those who love adventure and for those who don’t quite know what they love, a balloon ride in an Aerosaurus hot air balloon can be a vivid and gratifying experience which can leave you feeling energized and exhilarated. There might be those who might faint at the sight of the word “air”, but a balloon ride is not as scary as it sounds. Hot air balloons are nothing new and for years they have been providing joy to a number of people. Believe it or not, all of them are able to land safely. Dedicated rides for families, friends, and children or just about anyone are easily arranged by Aerosaurus and add to the unforgettable experience. You can view the landscape from a vantage point and enjoy the pure excitement with your loved ones. 0 Comments Add North Pole Trek 2010 Posted in Ballooning News on October 22, 2009 Aerosaurus Hot Air Balloons recently got a message to the head office asking us to promote and aid fellow balloonist Mike Scholes in his trek to the North Pole to raise funds for St Dunstan’s charity. Mike Scholes used to be a hot air balloon pilot and owner of a Sussex based balloon company called Chad Ballooning, until 2007, when his life changed dramatically and he lost 85% of his eye sight and was no longer to fly solo. 0 Comments Add Stolen Hot Air Balloon found in Essex Area Posted in Ballooning News on September 14, 2009 Just to inform readers of the Aerosaurus Balloons Ltd blog that the balloon reported last week missing has now been found.

The balloon has no connection with Aerosaurus itself, however the ballooning community is small and we’d like to help increase awareness and inform members of the general public to help with the search. 0 Comments Add The Growing Sport of Balloon Spotters Posted in Ballooning News on March 06, 2009 Since the start of Hot Air Ballooning, in 1783, it has been an admired sport with people traveling for miles to attend Balloon Festivals and watch the spectacle. The first flight in London attracted 100,000 people alone and since then the admiration for ballooning hasn’t died. Now-a-days people who watch balloons are know as Balloon Spotters and the sport, Balloon Spotting. In the UK there is an estimated 1,500 Spotters in total. How do you become one? The answer is easy. Balloon Spotters, like train spotters, spend their free time logging Balloons they see in the sky. Every balloon, by law, has an registration number. The spotter looks for this number on a balloon and then writes it down. 0 Comments Add The British Winter Posted in Ballooning News on January 07, 2008 That time of year has come again. The nights have got shorter and the wind is starting to shake Britain in its shallow waters. So, in protest, balloon enthusiasts/pilots/crew are starting to head else where to seek their much needed adrenaline rushes. I myself am going to Filzmoos (south Austria) come January the 9th with Alba Balloons (a Scottish Balloon company). There I will be taking part in the annual Filzmoos International Balloon Festival.
