Your voucher will provide you with a choice of multiple launch sites from surrounding regions. If you are in Ivybridge itself, either because you live there or are visiting, you simply select a Devon county launch location that will suit you. Or, you can save your voucher and use it to get you aloft as far afield as Dorset and Cornwall! You have a massive 12 months to decide!
Thanks to Google Maps and Sat Navs these days it is very easy to find your launch location too once you have decided where you would like to depart from. Also, there is no need to worry about how you might get back to your transport once your ballooning experience finishes as regardless of which way the winds blows on your day out, you will always be returned to the launch site at the end of your ballooning adventure.
Your unforgettable balloon ride will start with a full safety briefing, after which you you can help the team with the the inflating of the balloon if you wish – or kick back, soak up the atmosphere and let others do the hard work. But when it’s time, there is no escaping the collective excitement as the burners fire up and the balloon starts to prepare itself for taking you up, up and away on a ballooning adventure over Devon!

As you drift gently over the Devon countryside there will be ample opportunity to take photographs from your unique vantage point. During your flight you are free to discuss how the balloon works with the pilot, who will also be pointing out the many points of interest that drift below you or rest gently on the horizon.
No two flights are the same, and as such any number of towns, villages and important landmarks could come into view – all of which create talking points for years to come.
After an unforgettable hour ballooning your pilot will begin your descent towards a gentle landing. Once back on the ground, and should you wish, you can help in packing away the envelope (that’s the official name for the fabric canopy).
With the balloon all packed away, you will be transferred back to your launch site where you can sip on the fine stuff and raise a toast to an unforgettable adventure hot air ballooning over Devon.

Visit the American War Memorial on Fore Street or take in the architectural wonder of the aqueduct.
