Saturday morning saw passengers gathered at the beautiful Cornwallis Country Hotel at Brome, Eye in Suffolk, excitingly awaiting their hot air balloon ride over Suffolk.
Once briefings were completed and the early morning mist had cleared to reveal clear blue skies, G-CDHL was soon aloft in the Suffolk skies.
Climbing high and initially traveling in a northerly direction, passengers could see for miles across the Suffolk landscape before descending and slightly changing to a more easterly direction.
Views of Stuston and Diss were enjoyed and provided wonderful photo opportunities before the hot air balloon ride finally landed in the Suffolk village of Palgrave.
Having all joined in to pack the balloon away, passengers then toasted the flight and their morning hot air balloon ride with a glass of chilled champagne.
