    　　Have you ever experienced exciting sports? Perhaps you can try ballooning. Ballooning has become a popular sport in the UK in the past few years. Although it is still quite expensive compared with other sports, many people now think of a balloon flight as the perfect answer for a birthday present or a particular occasion. Some businesses also entertain their staff or visitors with a balloon ride and may even buy their own balloons to advertise their business products.

    　　One of the best known balloon companies in the UK is based in Bristol in the west of England. Flights are available(可用的) throughout the year and last for at least one hour. They usually take off soon after sunrise or a couple hours before sunset, but they do not fly if it is raining or very windy. No special clothing and either walking shoes or boots.

    　　It seems that once people have experienced a balloon flight they can become so keen(渴望的) on the sport that they want to have their own balloons. No two flights are ever the same and people find the sport different and exciting. The company in Bristol trains people to fly their own balloons but warns that it can be a very expensive hobby.
