Ballooning is an audience participation activity, and you will be encouraged to assist with the set up and pack away of the balloon. It is an active morning in the outdoors. Closed toe footwear is compulsory. DO NOT WEAR high-heeled shoes, thongs/flip flops or open-toe shoes. Your feet can get wet and cold in the early morning dew. Bring a spare change of socks & shoes, especially in winter! Wear warm clothes as for hiking, sturdy shoes, warm socks and a cap as the burners radiate heat. Make sure you have pockets with zips so you can keep personal items safe. Do not bring any bags as these will not be allowed on the balloon. You can leave them in the ground crew vehicle whilst on your flight or at home/in your hotel. Generally, it will not be any colder in the air during the flight than it is on the ground, so wear layered clothing that can be removed as the day warms up. Don’t forget to bring your camera as there are plenty of photo opportunities. This is carried at your own risk.
