"1000ft
up in the air, all you can hear are children
shouting and dogs barking"
Our hot air balloon is a
wonderful experience and launching from Ambergate whenever
weather conditions permit, is always an unforgettable occasion.
Below is a scrapbook of photos taken at a typical launch.
Arrival & Unpacking
The Holtams Balloon Team arrive at the Hurt Arms Public House in Ambergate,
Derbyshire and the balloon is carefully unpacked and laid out on
the grass.
Hot Air
Hot air is blown into the Balloon, taking extreme care not to burn
the fabric of the baloon itself. Slowly the Balloon starts
to take shape.
All Aboard !
Our intrepid aviators board the basket and up, up and away they go!
Beautiful Views, Peace and Tranquility
Just being ushered along on a warm air breeze, but as they say "what
goes up must come down" - as is the case here - in a field of
curious cows ! The Balloon is in touch at all times with the groundcrew,
and within minutes they appear to pack the balloon away ready for the next adventure.
