THE ADVENTURE BEGINS…
Having made your way to the launch site, you will meet your balloon crew at dawn and begin to feel the anticipation rising as the balloon envelope is laid out on the ground ready for inflation. This part of the experience takes about an hour.
If you’d like to help with the balloon inflation, that’s great. If not, just take in the crisp Windermere morning air and soak up the atmosphere as the burners ignite and start to fill the balloon with hot air.
