Launching from Norwich just after dawn is I think the best way to enjoy your balloon ride A gentle easterly breeze takes us away from the city and over the University Hospital and out into open countryside We passed over Hethersett and the wonderful sight of Kimberley Hall and lake along with its well managed gardens and adjoining estate We were heading south of Hardingham quite a few valuable horses so we make sure we remain high and use the quite burner so not to disturb and livestock and concern any owners. Once clear we descend into rural farmland looking for a suitable place to land As we approach the village of Hingham a fallow field margin is spotted next to a farm track we radio the crew of our intentions and they are soon in place. We gently touch down deflate the balloon and enjoy the mornings sunshine with a glass of champagne to toast our flight
Just a quick email to thank you all for looking after my parents so well. They really did enjoy the flight and appreciated the phone call the evening before explaining exactly how to get to the launch site. I know you have all of that on your web site, but mum was in a bit of a panic, as they do not have a computer. The personnel touch is always the best bless you all
