Over the winter when we aren't flying our balloons we always find something to keep ourselves busy. This year was no exception and now with our addition of the British School Of Ballooning to our companies we have recently acquired, for 2016 we can now offer our customers hot air balloon flights over the beautiful South Downs in West or East Sussex and the Garden of England in Kent. British School of Ballooning have been operating since 1987, only a little less than ourselves and when owner Graeme Scaife wanted to retire he approached Adventure Balloons to see if we could keep the name running and his experienced pilots and crew doing what they enjoy. So we welcome Ravinder, John and Richard to our piloting team who bring many years of experience to the fold. We now have a second Union Jack balloon which carries 10 passengers to befriend our own 2 passenger balloon Union Jack Balloon and a new 16 passenger balloon. Both these balloons will be based at the British School of Ballooning launch site at Petworth which we will continue to use. Our balloon flights from Kent will be made from launch sites close to Leeds Castle at Junction 8 on the M20 and from the Hop Farm at Tonbridge.
