Ballooning
My first Hot Air Balloon ride was back in 1997 it seems like a long time ago now but I remember it like yesterday. Getting up at a staggering 4.00 am in the morning and driving to the Balloon Club. I had been given a Day out experience of a lifetime for a birthday present.
As a choice for an extreme sport it seemed the safest option as I had a choice of a parachute jump which I had done previously and can I highly recommend not to do again ever. The other fabulous choice was a diving experience and as I’m already a Divemaster I chose to do the Hot Air Balloon ride.

Who would believe that a simple wicker basket, the whoosh of hot air burners and 200 years of history could leave such a spell on you? Be it floating over the city sky or the lovely patchwork of the wine regions. These majestic aircraft hark back to an unhurried era; yet offer the safest and most memorable sightseeing in today's world. Over the past 20 years, we have assembled a dedicated team to ensure the best ballooning tours experience available today, and have carried over 60,000 passengers.
Hot air balloons are based on the very basic scientific principle that warmer air rises in cooler air.
