This was a 70th birthday present from our family. We were delighted when the weather conditions finally allowed us to use our vouchers. Virgin would never allow a flight to go unless the conditions were safe. It was worth the 3 year wait!! Adrian, our pilot was experienced, knowledgeable and personable; we felt we were in a safe pair of hands as he involved us in the preparation of the huge balloon and its launch. He was ably supported in the air by Ben (with his trainee son, Devon) and the ground support team- all very experienced. It was surreal to be up in the air, standing in the wicker basket, looking down on Gosfield, the Hedinghams and Halstead, and finally landing at Great Yeldham after about an hour’s flight. As we came down, we waved at various people in their gardens! We packed up the huge balloon, had a little celebration and left content, with a wonderful experience behind us, and much to tell our family and friends.
