Richard Branson's ballooning adventures

In a series of short additional clips from Richard Branson's interviews with CNBC, Richard reveals how a number of his infamous balloon trips didn't always necessarily go to plan...

In the clip below Richard explains how his first balloon challenge to go around the world, in fact resulted in his balloon being the first to fly over Mount Everest, and all completely 'by mistake'.

In this second special clip, Richard recounts another one of his hairy balloon rides that not only veered off course but also resulted in an impromptu Christmas in Hawaii..

To enjoy your own ballooning adventure have a look at Virgin Balloon Flights.
