    More please!! Considering having a go at this. Not too good with heights, but getting better. Love hieghts in a plane, helicopter or London Eye but not sure how I would be in a balloon. Prefer to hug the middle of the helicopter not too good being too near the edge.

    We met at Champions Gate (J58 I4)

    They drove us to a field a few miles away and we began to set up.
    Just as the Sun was rising we were set for the off.

    They were filming for a promotional video at Flights of Fantasy so this was not their usual flight path.

    As for the heights, I wouldn't worry about it, I am scared of heights (Andy) but OK with Flying etc.
    This was nothing, didn;t feel nervous at all!

    No sensation of rocking or anything, its so peaceful and you just glide along with only the sound of the burn to raise the balloon.

    The pilots drop the balloons so that the baskets skim the water before raising it again, weird sensation.

    Definately a thing to do more than once!

    I'll sort some more photo's out and post them! [msnsmile2]
