The pre-flight setting up of the balloon is a spectacular a show for the passengers as they witness the spectacular sight of the mighty hot air balloon being inflated.
Firstly the huge envelope is laid out flat and initially a large fan is put into the neck of the balloon’s envelope which begins to fill. The basket is attached and securely fixed to the ground and the burner is fixed in place. The balloon, already half filled with air from the fan is soon filled by the hot air burner and the passengers can get into the basket ready for an experience that will be remembered for years to come.
Hot air balloon rides UK wide can be undertaken through Balloons over Britain, where you can either buy a gift voucher, or arrange a flight with one of the country wide operators that we are associated with.
