THINGS TO DO IN FLEET
The pretty Hampshire town of Fleet is a restful place to unwind and spend a couple of days. Easily accessible form London, the region has plenty to offer. Following your aerial surveying of the area, consider a relaxing stroll alongside the Basingstoke Canal or cast a line in hope of getting a bite. Or if the lure of the air is still tingling, pay a visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum – the Naval Aviation collection which is the largest in Europe.
Nearby you’ll find Odiham Castle where King John signed the Magna Carta back in 1215. The castle was built by King John between 1207 and 2014 and was in addition to the 90 he already had at his disposal! The royal connections continue in Elvetham – home to Henry VIII’s third wife, Jane Seymour. Or perhaps if you’re visiting Fleet, you might consider feeling like royalty yourself with a night at Dogmersfield Park (your launch location) – a historic home that is now a fine hotel that offers the perfect way to complete an unforgettable day.

The Flight
DURING YOUR FLEET BALLOON RIDE
As you drift gently over the Hampshire countryside near Fleet, there will be ample opportunity to take photographs from this 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.
Landing
YOUR ALDERSHOT BALLOON LANDING
After an unforgettable hour ballooning your pilot will begin your decent 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 Hampshire.
