(1)Bristol balloons invite you to fulfill the ambition of a lifetime. Experience a bird’s-eye view of the countryside, while slowly drifting across the landscape, enjoying the magnificent sport of hot-air ballooning. For a unique birthday present, an anniversary gift or a celebration, a flight in a balloon provides the perfect answer. You can even use our gift vouchers as an unusual and exciting present. Entertaining your clients or staff in a balloon provides something completely different. Our aim is to give everyone a pleasant and enjoyable flight. Flights are available throughout the year and last for at least one hour. Allow four hours for the whole adventure. We lift off before sunset or soon after dawn because the winds are usually light at these times. We do not fly if it is raining or very windy.
(2)Ballooning is the art of making pleasant and unexpected discoveries. We are dependent on the wind, so no two flights are ever exactly the same. The average distance we travel is ten miles, affording you views of the city and the surrounding scenery. Many of our passengers are happy just to relax and enjoy the view and the incredible sense of peace that being aloft in a balloon provides. A balloon is a brilliant platform for photography. You might like to bring a camera or a camcorder and plenty of film!
(3)For your safety and comfort we suggest you wear long trousers and long sleeves, and preferably natural fibres, like wool and cotton, which will keep you warmer than artificial ones. The weather can change very quickly, so even on a warm, sunny day bring a waterproof jacket. Something like a sailing jacket or a skiing jacket is ideal. Wear warm, waterproof footwear, and bring a hat if your hair is a bit thin on top. It will protect you from the heat from the burners. Chilled champagne or orange juice is served with our compliments. Each passenger receives a commemorative flight certificate. Our ground crew who are in radio contact with the balloon meet us on landing and will return you to the departure point if required.

(A43)___Hobby is frequently what makes our daily routine worth living. Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting.
(A44)___Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things. The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to travelling and from chess to volleyball.
(A45)___Sport has always been popular. There are different sporting societies and clubs offering a large variety of sport activities. Many of these associations take part in different international tournaments and are known all over the world. Millions of people watch figure skating competitions, hockey and football matches, car races, tennis tournaments and other sports events on TV.
(A46)___Certainly watching sports events on TV and going in for sports are two different things. Now everybody knows that sport can be a profession and a business. But sport can be fun as well. Besides, it helps to stay in good shape, to keep fit and to be healthy. Doing sports is becoming more and more popular. Some people do it occasionally — swimming in summer, skiing or skating in winter — but many people go in for sports on a more regular
46
basis. They try to find time to go to a swimming pool or a gym at least once a week for aerobics or yoga classes, body building or just work-out on a treadmill.
(A47)___Gardening is one of the oldest of man’s hobbies. It’s a wellknown fact that the English are very fond of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses. Pooktre Art (or Pooktre tree shaping) is a unique eco-art hobby, developed and perfected by Peter Cook and Becky Northey in South East Queensland, Australia. Pooktre Art is a dream made into a reality through inspiration, love of nature, tree finesse, persistence and understanding trees and how they grow.
(A48)___Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling, they travel to enjoy picturesque places, or just for a change of scene. It’s always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
