Hot Air Ballooning for Two Valentines by from Red Letter Days

First, with your feet still firmly on the ground, you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon. Then climb into the basket ready for launching. You'll fly at heights of up to 3,000 feet, enjoying beautiful views of the countryside below, and the restful peace and quiet. Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all. After landing you'll help the crew pack the balloon away, before a celebratory glass of champagne (or a soft drink) and being driven back to the launch site (who knows where you'll land? - you can't steer balloons!). You'll be presented with a commemorative flight certificate, and some centres also offer the chance to purchase an in-flight photo.

Availability: Weekends and weekdays from March/April to October/November at most venues. Flights take place at dawn or dusk, when the air is most stable.Weather: Ballooning is extremely weather dependent - it is crucial that you call the venue before your flight. If postponed, you'll be offered an alternative date and can also request an alternative location (please contact the operator to arrange).Duration: Actual flight length will be determined by the conditions on the day. As a guide, the experience normally lasts around three hours, including one hour for inflating the balloon and one hour for packing the balloon away and returning to the launch site.Numbers On Day: As a guide there will be between 8 and 16 people and the pilot in the balloon.Spectators: Spectators are welcome to watch the launch (a wonderful sight) and wave you off. A pair of binoculars or a camera will come in handy.Dress Code: Wear trousers, long sleeves and sensible footwear (no high heels please). Please don't wear loose scarves or jewellery.
