点评:Went on Balloon flight yesterday, taking off from Petworth. Was supposed to be Alton, but due to weather, was moved. A bit disappointing as one of the points of doing a flight, is to do it over an area you know, with landmarks that are familiar. However, I won't mark it down because of this. The whole experience was excellent, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Chris was the Pilot, very nice guy, pointing out random things on the flight (Brighton, Bognor, Isle of Wight), neither that I could see because of the haze :-)
The only thing about Ballooning is it is so weather dependant, we managed to get on at the second attempt though, so I think we were lucky. Be prepared for an early morning, as the booking was moved from Alton to Petworth, we had an hours drive and so had to get up at 4am to be there for 5:15am. Not a big issue though.
£20 at the end to buy the photos taken from the go-pro hanging from the Balloon, disappointed that there was only two videos and not one of the take off as promised.
However, all in all HIGHLY recommended, excellent experience. Would EASILY be a 5 if it hadn't moved to Petworth, and the cost of the photos and videos wasn't so steep.
The flight latest an hour. But, from arriving at 5:15am, we didn't leave until 10:30ish. There's obviously travel between landing/take-off sites, setup time, put away and a glass of Prosecco at the end (a light snack, perhaps a pastry would have been good, due to the early start no-one has time to get any breakfast).
One last point, I am scared of heights stood on a chair, this is so different. Don't exclude yourself from doing this because you're scared of heights, it's so different. ITs very peaceful and quiet.
翻译:昨天乘坐热气球飞行,从佩特沃斯起飞。本来应该是奥尔顿,但由于天气原因,搬到了。有点令人失望的是,飞行的要点之一是在您熟悉的区域和熟悉的地标上进行飞行。不过,我不会因此而对其进行标记。整个体验非常棒,我会毫不犹豫地再做一次。克里斯是飞行员,非常友善,他指出了航班上的随机事物(布莱顿、博格诺、怀特岛),但由于雾霾我看不到:-)
热气球唯一的问题是它非常依赖天气,但我们在第二次尝试时成功了,所以我认为我们很幸运。为清晨做好准备,因为预订从奥尔顿转移到佩特沃斯,我们有一个小时的车程,所以必须凌晨 4 点起床才能在凌晨 5:15 到达那里。不过这并不是什么大问题。
最后花了 20 英镑买了从气球上悬挂的 go-pro 拍摄的照片,失望的是只有两个视频,而且没有一个像承诺的那样起飞。
然而,总而言之,强烈推荐,非常棒的体验。如果它没有搬到佩特沃斯,那么很容易成为 5,而且照片和视频的成本也没有那么高。
航班最晚一小时。但是,从早上5点15分到达,我们直到10点30分左右才离开。显然,有着陆/起飞地点之间的旅行、准备时间、存放和最后一杯普罗塞克(一份小吃,也许糕点会很好,因为开始得早,没有人有时间去买任何东西)早餐)。
最后一点,我恐高症站在椅子上,这太不一样了。不要因为恐高而排除自己这样做,这是非常不同的。它非常平和安静。
