My husband and I had a fabulous evening from start to finish. It was our first time of booking so consider ourselves to be extremely lucky to have been able to fly straight away.Mike Petteford-our pilot, Caroline and the fabulous ground crew were all amazing, very helpful and extremely professional, creating confidence and trust along with a little humour.We waited until the small gusts of wind subsided then we took to the skies. My husband Tim even was able to assist in inflating the huge balloon!There were 16 of us on the flight all of different ages which was really nice as we are both in our 60's.The flight lasted approximately an hour and took us all over Bristol with perfect views of the city and surrounding areas .The flight was so calm and peaceful-we could have stayed up there all evening!!We landed in a farmers field near Pucklechurch-the farmers had previously been asked if this was okay and we met and had a glass of fizz with them after packing away the beautiful balloon.We were taken back to Ashton court in a mini bus driven by dear Caroline who kindly took Tim and I down to the road as we had to get transport home as hadn't driven.We would do this again in a heartbeat and honestly recommend it to every one interested.
