The landowners are generally friendly, but it is better not to drive your vehicle onto agricultural land but to carry the balloon to the road, if possible. You will be provided a letter in Czech to show to any landowners, and we will of course be available to help you in unlikely event of a problem.
The weather in the end of April is usual stable and we should be able to fly most, if not all, days.
In the unlikely event of the weather is unsuitable, we will arrange a trip to Praha or a local Castle or other place of interest. There is lots to do in this region.
Getting to Lety by car from Calais – Brussel – Frankfurt – Nuremberg – Pilsen. The quickest route takes around 10 hours 15 minutes, a total of 1 095 km.
Depending on the where you start from in the UK you will probably want to make a stop somewhere on your journey. We would recommend a night stop between Calais and Frankfurt to break the journey.
Please book your place as soon as possible, we are expecting a lot of entries.
