	About your Balloon Flight Hot Air Ballooning is the ultimate flying experience, floating over scenic North West countryside at heights of between 500 and 5,000 feet. From arrival at the launch site you will be invited to assist with the inflation. You will be briefed on embarkation and position for safe conduct of the flight. After the flight, our experienced crew, who will have been following the balloon during the flight, will pack away the balloon and certificates will be presented along with complimentary Champagne and Orange Juice to celebrate the Flight. Transport back to the launch site is provided for those who wish it. Clothing Wear sensible outdoor shoes, trousers and long sleeves ( natural fibres are recommended, high heels are not ! ). Because the balloon is travelling with the wind, it appears very calm and not as cold as you may expect.




		How To Find Us We are situated on the A59 ( Longsight Road ) between the Swallow Trafalgar and Clitheroe, close to the Ribchester Road Traffic Lights junction. Brook Farm, Longsight Road, Clayton-le-Dale Blackburn BB1 9EX

	Photography Balloons are the ideal platform for aerial photography and video recording - bring plenty of film. We also recommend that friends on the ground bring a camera. Duration Your flight will last approximately 1 hour but allow at least 3 hours from start to finish. Weather Ballooning is wholly dependent on suitable weather, light winds, good visibility and no rain. Please bear with us if we have to postpone flights.

			When We fly all year round, although April to October usually provide the most stable conditions, in the early mornings and evenings. Who Can Fly Children should be at least four feet tall. Elderly people require calm conditions and we cannot fly pregnant women for safety reasons
