If the wind is heading in the right direction we may take off from Cheltenham, our main launch site in the Gloucestershire area is Stroud.

Having visited Cheltenham Charles Dickens then wrote: 'Rarely have I seen such a place that so attracted my fancy'…….. and he had his feet firmly on the ground.

For our pilots and passengers, who clearly don’t have their feet on the ground, the whole vista is even more spectacular. Cheltenham is a perfect place for hanging around with your head in the clouds and your feet in a basket.

The tops of fine churches, a peek into parkland, a glimpse over a wall into a regency house or garden, a hot air balloon trip is a great way to capture the hidden beauty of a historic market town at a leisurely pace. And there’s more on the horizon – as you fly into the Vale of Severn or head out over the Cotswolds.
