So why do we need so many launch sites to fly a balloon over South Hampshire?
 |
The answer to this question is fairly simple - hot air balloons cannot be steered! We go exactly where the wind takes us, and have no control over our speed or direction of travel. So, imagine taking off from Winchester, with the wind blowing towards the sea - we'd have a very wet landing, and a long swim home! With the wind in that direction we'd need to use one of our launch sites further inland, so that we could fly in safety. Just occasionally we may have to use one of our North Hampshire launch sites to ensure enough space for the flight. |

With the exception of flights meeting at around rush hour, the sites are all within 30 - 40 minutes driving time of each other. Remember, we cannot say which launch site we will be using on any particular day, until we know which way the wind is likely to be blowing! We expect our passengers to be prepared to fly from whichever venue is being used that day. |
