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.

Launch Site
FLEET BALLOONING LAUNCH SITE
The main departure point is from the grounds of the Dogmersfield Four Seasons Hotel, a few miles away from Fleet. Always make sure that you check your voucher details before buying though, and again when you book in, for the latest launch site details, as they can change depending on weather and site suitability. The good news is, that your voucher is valid for all launch locations in the South East and you can leave your car at the launch site as this is where your ballooning experience will also finish.
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 Hampshire!
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.
