25% off Hot Air Ballooning for Two by from Red Letter Days

With your feet still firmly on the ground, meet your pilot for a full flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare the balloon and climbing into the basket, ready for launching. Soaring at heights of up to 3,000 feet, you'll gaze down at the incredible views of the countryside as it unfolds below and enjoy the tranquil peace and quiet. The balloon moves with the wind, meaning you'll feel no resistance at all. Once back on the ground, help the crew pack the balloon away before enjoying a celebratory glass of champagne (or soft drink) and be driven back to the original launch site. To conclude, you'll be presented with a commemorative flight certificate to take home as a memento.
