Hot Air Balloon Rides are becoming more and more popular in the UK these days. Whether you're looking to float off smoothly into the sunset whilst sipping a glass of champagne or experience the exhilaration of a breathtaking mass balloon launch, hot air balloon rides have something to offer everyone.

Early mornings and late afternoons are the most favoured times to launch balloon rides due to the fact that weather conditions are generally more stable at this time. The air is also usually cooler, creating a greater difference in temperature between the air inside the envelope and the air outside the balloon. This results in the hot air balloon becoming more buoyant, which allows for a far easier launch and flight.

Typical hot air balloon rides will quite obviously begin with the inflation of the balloon and heating of the air inside the envelope. A skilled ground crew will be able to prepare a balloon for launching in under 20 minutes. It is worthwhile arriving at the launch site a little early to witness the inflation, as it truly is an incredible build up to the actual ride. Once fully inflated and ready to launch, passengers will climb into the wicker basket and the balloon will be released from its moorings. Then it's simply a case of up up and away into the wide blue yonder above.

A ride can last anywhere from half an hour to well over an hour. During this time the pilot will vary the altitude at which the balloon hovers so as to ride the wind currents and change the direction in which the balloon is flying. Typically, pilots tend to stick to lower altitudes of around 500 to 1000 feet in order to provide the best vantage point from which to view the breathtaking scenery below.
