Description

Within a few miles of High Adventure's carefully selected take off sites lie the farms, fells and lakes which are at the heart of this spectacular landscape. Our champagne hot air balloon rides include a commentary on points of interest whilst providing almost effortless access to the natural wonders of Cumbria - The Lake District.

Ballooning, man's oldest form of flight, relies on drifting with gentle winds at a height of between 500 and 3000 feet above the ground. Relatively simple principles determine how hot air balloons work. When conditions allow we may climb to the equivalent height of Scafell Pike within minutes and as you settle into your hot air balloon ride it appears that the ground below just rolls by underneath the traditional wicker basket.

Our balloon rides in Beatrix Potter's Lakeland rarely follow exactly the same track twice. The launch site is decided on the day of flight from a number of specially chosen pre-arranged locations when details of wind speed and direction have been obtained from our forecasters. The rugged Lakeland terrain determines that in Cumbria balloons fly on the fringe of the main mountain mass. As a balloon flight is 'one way' only we have to fly towards a safe landing area but we aim, within strict safety parameters, to fly over or provide views of Lake Windermere set against the majestic backdrop of the surrounding fells.
