Balloon Flights
DRIFT ON THE WIND AND ENJOY
ONE OF THE LAST GREAT ADVENTURES.
Go to Belvoir Balloons
Website
Flights take place over the Vale of
Belvoir, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Rutland Water and the
Derbyshire Dales.
Dawn or dusk, your flight will be tranquil yet
exhilarating. Experience flying like never before, see and hear things you
wouldn’t imagine.
Flights generally last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on
the wind. Please allow 3-4 hours for your excursion.
During April to September we launch just after dawn or 2 hours
before sunset, avoiding the unstable daytime “thermal” winds.
From October to March this is not a problem and we fly
mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Ballooning is a participation sport. Please be prepared to
help with the inflation and packing away of the balloon.
You should wear clothes suitable for a walk in the
countryside. Natural fibres are recommended for safety’s sake, with boots, flat
shoes or trainers.
Family and friends may follow the balloon and it’s retrieve
vehicle in their own cars. Upon landing please do not enter any land until
permission has been obtained by the retrieve crew.
When the balloon has been packed away, we will celebrate your
first flight with a certificate and champagne toast. Passengers will then be
transported back to the launch site in an air conditioned 4x4 vehicle if
required.
Belvoir Balloons can carry up to 5 passengers. Our aim is to
give you a fun flight and magical experience, with safety! Please bear with us
if the British weather does not co-operate. We cannot guarantee that flights
booked on a specific date will take place on that date.
