It’s a dog’s life

Being one of the UK’s largest hot air balloon companies, flying passengers all over London and the Home Counties there are always some interesting stories that we are lucky enough to be a part of.
One of these interesting stories was from an Adventure Balloons flight from Farnham Park on the 14th of June.
Marion Beal turned up for her balloon flight with her husband Richard who had come to wave her off, but when a last minute space became available he could not resist taking the flight as well. After all, it’s much more fun to experience a hot air balloon ride with a loved one.
With only minutes till take off, the pair were left with the decision of what to do with their Jack Russell called Moet. Richard got the dog basket from the car and Moet was put into the balloon recovery vehicle for a front seat view with our balloon crew, who are appropriately named the balloon “retriever”.
After the flight Marion and Richard were reunited with Moet and returned to their car in Farnham Park in the Adventure Balloons minibus. An exciting morning for everyone involved, especially Moet.
