I was flying from Rutland Water.
I was meant to be doing it about 10 months ago but each time it was cancelled because of the weather.

Its so peaceful up there and you get such amazing views.
Here are a few pics:
Those pictures look so good. I would love to try it but my feet and my head prefer to be on the ground. I get dizzy going up one wrung of a ladder never mind going up on a balloon :D

It was quite calm and only the landing had a few bumps before we came to a stop.
I was flying from Rutland Water. It's really nice. I saw parts of Stamford, Belvoir Castle in the distance, you can see a long way.

I'm so glad you finally got to collect your pressie :D Very special :)
Only a few bumps... I'd have clung onto everything solid in a corner :D

And I am trying hard to avoid yet another double post but...
YAY - the Coventry Bees!!! Well done every man!

As with all forms of flight, taking off is optional, landing is mandatory.

And, as we used to say in the RAF, any landing you walk away from is a good one....:D

And any landing they can use the plane again after is an excellent one.

Yes I would.
Maybe a different location to discover somewhere else from above.


Enjoy your new car Snoopz!

I was lucky enough to go up in one about 10 years ago. I remember it clearly now and I'll never forget it.

What took me by surprise was how calm it was, nothing like how I imagined it would have been. And the other was how close it felt to having the top of my head burnt off. I'll wear a hat next if I do get another chance. Great photos though.
