I've been ballooning just once before, at dusk, in the grounds of a chateau near Paris, in my suit, with my wife, courtesy of Fokker as it happens. We stepped out into a swamp and sat through dinner cold and wet from the knees down. I've always vaguely intended to try again, but these videos below are not doing much to advance the schedule.

Yes you should go ballooning again, just make sure that you have a competent pilot, definitely a case of pilot error in the video shown.
Be happy to fly you if you fancy a trip to Wales

Thanks Paul - I will definitely try it again, and I just may be in touch. Which part of Wales is that?
