Launch Site
STRATHAVEN BALLOONING FESTIVAL LAUNCH SITE
The Strathaven launch site is currently only used during the annual Strathaven Ballooning Festival. We recommend visiting the Perthshire or Lanarkshire pages to see other Scottish launch locations that are in regular use, if you were searching for a balloon flight for other times of the year. Always make sure that you check your voucher details 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 Scotland 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 Scotland!
The Flight
DURING YOUR STRATHAVEN BALLOON FESTIVAL RIDE
As you drift gently over the Lanarkshire countryside near Strathaven, 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 STRATHAVEN BALLOON FESTIVAL LANDING
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 Lanarkshire.
