点评:After 5 failed attempts (due to weather) we eventually took off & boy oh boy was it worth the wait. We took off from within the grounds of the old Witton Castle & holiday park, the weather was one of those perfect early evening nights, still, warm, clear & so so peaceful. We headed off on on our journey at about 8pm, not knowing where we might land. Alex, our pilot who flew the balloon was great, really friendly, super informative & knowledgeable about all things ballooning & quite funny, he made the flight. After flying over ponds, lakes, fields, villages & seeing Durham Cathedral in the very very far distance it was time to land, we did so & the landing was perfect. One thing I should point out is the basket is divided in to four sections, each section has three people in them so it's a VERY tight squeeze in each of the individual sections, so be pre-pared to get to know your fellow passengers.
