点评:My children bought me this balloon flight for my 60th birthday.
You go online to book a slot, then you ring after 11pm the night before, listen to a recorded message which will let you know if the flight will be proceeding, (this is weather dependent). So after 4 separate attempts and several months later I struck lucky last week.
Was informed to arrive at the take off site at 6am sharp. We were greeted by Steve & Colin who were the pilot and ground crew (AKA The Montgolfier brothers).
There were 17 passengers (basket will hold 18 + pilot) we were asked to help with the setting up of the basket and balloon.
Steve the pilot was very clear in his communication about safety and the flight, I found both the Montgolfier brothers very professional, but also quite easy going, nice guys.
We took off on time around 7am, had the most wonderful flight over the Somerset levels, just an incredible experience. I was slightly nervous about the landing, as the basket can sometimes tip on it's side, but Steve landed it as smooth as a babies bum, absolutely lovely.
Colin had all this time been chasing us in a minibus through the country lanes, he managed to find us quite quickly, we all helped pack the balloon up, then Colin drove us all back to our vehicles at the starting point.
This was a wonderful experience which I would thoroughly recommend this experience for a special occasion or for someone you love.
翻译:我的孩子为我买了这个热气球飞行作为我的 60 岁生日礼物。
你先上网预订一个时段,然后在前一天晚上 11 点后打电话,听录音信息,它会告诉你飞行是否继续(这取决于天气)。所以经过 4 次不同的尝试和几个月后,我上周终于幸运地成功了。
被告知要在早上 6 点准时到达起飞地点。飞行员和地勤人员史蒂夫和科林(又名蒙哥尔费兄弟)迎接了我们。
有 17 名乘客(篮子可容纳 18 名乘客 + 飞行员),我们被要求帮助设置篮子和气球。
飞行员史蒂夫在安全和飞行方面的沟通非常清楚,我发现蒙哥尔费兄弟俩都非常专业,而且很随和,是很好的人。
我们准时在早上 7 点左右起飞,在萨默塞特平原上进行了最精彩的飞行,真是一次难以置信的经历。我对降落有点紧张,因为篮子有时会侧翻,但史蒂夫让它像婴儿屁股一样平稳地降落,非常漂亮。
科林一直在乡间小路上驾驶小巴追着我们,他很快就找到了我们,我们都帮忙收拾气球,然后科林开车把我们送回起点的车上。
这是一次美妙的体验,我强烈推荐在特殊场合或与你爱的人一起体验。
