Hot Air Balloon Ride?

[geoff-r]

Has anyone been on one in the UK? I'm thinking of buying one as a gift basically. Is it worth it? It does look quite amazing. Opinions please, and no I'm not scared of heights that much

Yes well worth it, if you book with these guys - http://cameronflights.co.uk/ - you might get my mate Kerry flying you I've crewed for loads of balloon flights and been in a few as a passenger, its a great experience, so long as you get a nice day for it. Be warned, it usually takes about 5+ attempts at going for a flight to actually get one in the UK, the weather can be a bit crap

yep do it! does depend on weather a bit so needs some sense of flexibility but great experience.

Good advice - don't do what I did and book it in the Lakes which would be beautiful if we had ever made it up but almost impossible to get a suitable day. Gave it up as a bad do in the end!

I think I bought it before I'd met you - I spent 3 years trying to go on it!

Kind of you but we've lost interest for the moment.
