Our special day was a longe awaited relaxation period, we had to get away to enjoy nature and take a hot air balloon ride, Cumbria was on our thoughts as we had been before and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My husband booked us over the internet after finding details on this site (thanks Search Cumbria) and also booked our guest house room, we arrived on the friday evening and booked into our accommodation.
The following morning we had a hearty breakfast and headed out to our take off point, we were met by our pilot fo rthe day, he looked spiffing, all aboard, and up we go, now, theres lots of good views from hills or mountains BUT from up here it looks magnificent, spectacular, you could see for miles, our pilot made some remarks as to how close the villages look, they did, Windermere to Ambleside you would think was a 5 minute cycle ride. We will definatly be back again and again, excellent.
