Nothing quite compares to the serenity of a ride in a hot air balloon as you gaze down over the fields, hedgerows and villages, dappled in soft evening sunlight or tranquil early morning light.  As you bask in the magical silence you will float high above the ground and then drop low enough to skim the hedgerows and treetops. What a perfect way to take fabulous pictures this is an award to yourself that you will remember for many years.

Your hot air balloon will take off just after sunrise or just before sunset whichever you choose and suits you best, this is because these times are when the wind is most favourable.  You can help with the inflation; many people regard this as part of the fun and you and your fellow passengers climb aboard for an hour’s magical flight over the beautiful countryside, followed by a glass of champagne after landing.

The London Marathon took place on the 26th of May last year and was the usual spectacular event, which as always was excellently organised. For those of us that watched the event on television the ranked mass of runners, both professional and fun runners dressed in costume and raising millions of pounds for worthwhile charities, passed another line up; a parade of hot air balloons.

These hot air balloons with their spectacular colours and sponsors names added to the atmosphere and later provided some entertainment of their own. Naturally, Balloons over Britain operators were well represented which is not surprising as the organisation is the biggest in the UK and flies from more locations than any other single operator.
