Breckland Balloons - Hot Air Ballooning in East Anglia
Description
Breckland Balloons are based in Norfolk, UK, and will take you for flights above the countryside of East Anglia. We fly throughout the year.
We have created a friendly, happy and exciting atmosphere by specialising in flying smaller groups than many of our competitors. Enabling us to provide a high quality service with attention to detail. We like to encourage passengers, friends and relations to help rig and prepare the balloon prior to flight, if they wish. The passengers then stand back whilst the pilot inflates the balloon. Once the balloon is fully inflated the passengers climb aboard and we are ready for take-off.
AND WE'RE OFF! Once in flight, the balloon is totally stable and is an ideal platform for aerial photography so don't forget your cameras! The whole ballooning experience will last three to four hours, one hour of which is the approximate flying time. On average we fly at a height of between 500 and 3,000 feet. We recommend you wear outdoor clothing suitable for the time of year, preferably natural fibres. Wear sensible flat soled shoes or boots and bring a hat - this will protect you from the radiant heat from the propane burners. After landing, we toast the flight with a glass of chilled bubbly (or something non alcoholic for those who prefer), before returning to the launch site.
When can we Fly? We fly all year round, although the weather in spring ,summer and early autumn are more conducive to ballooning. Between April and late September flights take place two hours before sunset, and sunrise seven days a week. In the winter, flights take place mid-morning or mid-afternoon, generally at weekends (subject to suitable ground conditions)
Who can Fly? There is no upper age limit for ballooning, although a degree of agility is required. Passengers should be able to stand for the duration of the flight. Children should be at least 4'6" tall and accompanied by an adult. Passengers with specific health problems or any disabilities are advised to consult their own doctor and contact our office to discuss the possibility of flying. At present we are unable to provide wheelchair access into our flight equipment, as our baskets are not certificated for the carrage of wheel chairs. However we can always refer you to someone that can provide that can help you.
Weather Ballooning is highly weather dependant and can only take place in stable weather conditions, for example, light winds no rain actual or forecast and good visibility. You will need to contact us on the day of your flight, to make sure the conditions are suitable, so please bear with us if your flight is postponed. If a flight has to be postponed, an alternative date will be arranged to suit you. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION DO RING US ON 01362 687006
