Attaching 55 helium balloons to his trusty office chair, adrenaline junkie Jonathan Trappe managed to soar to nearly 15,000 feet.
After spending two years in training and upwards of £45,000 on the adventure, this was the technical project manager's first ever cluster balloon flight.
In scenes reminiscent of the film Up - in which an explorer floats his house using helium balloons - Mr Trappe fulfilled his long-held daydream of breaking free from his desk and taking to the skies.
