Our Ballooning Seasons.....
The main flying season is Spring and Summer, 7 days a week during which
you will have the choice of flight times, either the crisp, still mornings,
when you have a greater chance of seeing and hearing the countryside at
its purest; or the beautiful evenings, approximately two - three hours
before sunset, which gives you ample time to fly after your working day.
Some flying takes place during the Autumn and Winter weather permitting.

It is no colder flying in a Balloon than on the ground, so dress for the temperature of the day.
Your outer garment should be long sleeved and preferably cotton. Wear sensible flat soled shoes or boots (early morning flights can be wet under- foot). Hats are recommended, as some may find the radiant heat from the burner a little uncomfortable.
Your Balloon Experience will last for three to four hours, one hour of which is the approximate flying time.
Early morning flights may sometimes be delayed in departure by morning mist or fog, so it is advisable not to arrange any activity too soon after your expected return to the launch field. Passengers are encouraged to assist in the preparation for take off and at the conclusion of the Balloon flight.
A Balloon Basket provides the ideal platform for aerial photography, so bring plenty of film and a spare battery for your video camera.
You won't ever forget your flight, but we are sure you will want some photos!
You will be met by our retrieve vehicle, which has stayed in radio contact throughout the flight.
Once the Balloon has been packed away, we will toast your flight with a glass of Champagne (or something non alcoholic for those who prefer) before being driven back to the launch field.
And finally.....
If you have any questions, before you book or before your flight, please dont hestiate to contact Eastern Balloon Rides.
