点评:We had been given a Wickers World Balloon Flights by our son as a Christmas present, we chose to use their base in Derbyshire, our nearest location. It was extremely easy to book our required date, but due to English weather it was cancelled four times. We were obviously disappointed, but could book for dates within the next couple of weeks and were even notified of any cancellations should we be available, so Great communication between us. The date arrived and we met up at Tissington Hall, a lovely location.
At the launch field Andy (our pilot) organised the 15 passengers to help "stretch" out the balloon, it's massive 😳you just don't realise the size when flat. Then came inflating, this added to the whole experience. Once inflated we boarded as instructed by Andy and were given a run through the Safety briefing we had done earlier before the balloon was inflated.
You don't realise how slowly you become airborne, and the next minute you're two hundred feet high. The views are Fantastic, with Andy pointing out places of interest and naming the villages we past over. Andy was in constant contact with the ground crew (Joe and Kitt) and another Pilot in a balloon from another experience company, we were told that companies often pair up to share Wind speed and direction for safety. Our landing was very very good, then came the Fun of packing the Balloon away and returning to Tissington Hall where our cars were. The whole experience lasted 3 to 4 hours.
All in all we really enjoyed our time with Andy and hope you do to, should you book with Wickers World.
Steve and Debbie.
翻译:儿子送给我们一趟Wickers World Balloon Flights的圣诞礼物,我们选择了他们位于德比郡的基地,离我们最近的地点。预订我们想要的日期非常容易,但由于英国的天气原因,行程被取消了四次。我们当然很失望,但可以预订接下来几周内的日期,甚至会收到任何取消通知,因为我们有空的话,所以沟通非常顺畅。日期到了,我们在Tissington Hall碰面,那里很漂亮。
在起飞场,Andy(我们的飞行员)组织了15名乘客帮忙“撑”气球,它非常大😳扁平的时候你根本感觉不到它有多大。然后是充气,这为整个体验增添了乐趣。充气完成后,我们按照Andy的指示登机,并在气球充气前听了之前的安全须知。
你不会意识到自己升空的速度有多慢,下一分钟你就已经飞到200英尺高了。景色美极了,安迪指点着名胜古迹,并告诉我们飞越的村庄的名字。安迪一直与地勤人员(乔和基特)以及另一家体验公司热气球上的飞行员保持联系。我们得知,为了安全起见,公司通常会结伴共享风速和风向。我们的着陆非常顺利,接下来是打包热气球并返回停放车辆的蒂辛顿庄园的乐趣。整个体验持续了3到4个小时。
总而言之,我们非常享受与安迪共度的时光,希望您也一样,如果您预订Wickers World的话。
史蒂夫和黛比。
