Right @ The mo im just gauging interest

But this is the idea that i have in mind

To celebrate my Birthday ( May 7th ) I Have always wanted to go up in a Balloon over Essex , Im looking @ Various company's to fly with , Most have 7 / 8 Launch sites across Essex to launch from , It depend's on the direction of the wind as to where you take off from .

So what im looking @ is possibly another 8 -12 To join me in the Basket

The cost would be approx £110 Approx ( TBC) & From launch to Landing lasts for about 4 / 5 Hours , So it's not cheap , But not something that you do every day !!

Of course it's all very wether dependant , Most flight's take place early morning , Late afternoon evening from Late March , So you would need to be flexible on times & Dates , As it can change @ Veryt short notice

I Would like the date to be as close to my Birthday as possible May 7th

It would be nice for me to be joined in the Basket by a few of you

But it would be great as well , If we could have a Scooby Support crew , This follows the Balloons flight from Lauch to landing through the twisty country lanes etc .. You can never really be to sure as to where you are going to land as it depends on where the wind takes you But just following the Ballons support vehicle , It would be a great sight from the Balloon seeing a trail of Scoobs following us

Who would be interested in joining me then ?

** plz noo comments on needing a big balloon / Basket to fit us in **

I've been a Hot Air balloon flight ..... Awesome experience

When you land it is brilliant .... We came through trees, landed with a bump, and were still dragged 100 yds

I will find out the company I got tickets from (they are only based just outside Chelmsford) . From memory, our could take upto 16 passengers + pilot .
