What's included
Balloon flights over Bedfordshire provide the likelihood of a view of the Airship Hangars at Cardington, the base for the R100 and R101, as well as the world famous home of the Shuttleworth Collection near Biggleswade.
The Duke of Bedfords' wildlife park at Woburn is probably the best known of the various animal parks in Bedfordshire, much as Millbrook Proving Ground is one of the pre-eminent motor vehicle testing facilities in the UK.
Up, Up And Away
Few can resist the attraction as one hundred feet of wispy nylon majestically rises with the dragon-like roar of the burners. As you take off you'll be more aware of the ground dropping away than of any sensation of movement or rising. The feeling of peace and tranquillity is heightened by the apparent lack of wind - because you're moving with it.
The Tapestry Below
Once in the air, your balloon travels up to heights of several thousand feet, allowing you to gaze down upon villages, towns and the countryside. The 'miniature' people and cars scattered seemingly at random across the ground below look as if they've fallen from a toy box.
Picture This
The supremely steady balloon basket provides an excellent vantage point for aerial photography. This un-missable opportunity to record your trip is heightened by the ability of the pilot to turn the balloon using the 'rotation vents' – thus providing you with a truly panoramic view as you float through the air.
Wild Thing
You'll also have a good chance of spotting wildlife, particularly on morning flights. Views depend entirely on the wind direction on the day, which means every flight is a unique experience.
All Good Things……
We round off every balloon flight with a champagne toast and a commemorative flight certificate presentation, making the occasion even more memorable and ensuring that the experience is one that will stay with you for years to come.
