In a balloon and not walking so as Arkady says take em all ,Oh, read somewhere that a guy went up in a balloon to do some shooting and found that the flames from the gas made his head very HOT.

Any UK balloon pilot worth flying with shouldn't let you on board with arms/legs exposed anyway.
Is it an experience flight? Or do you know the pilot? If you really want to take all your gear up there, check with the pilot first.
Generally there isn't much room in baskets to store extra lenses and there is a big chance of a bumpy landing, so I wouldn't take anything in the basket that you wouldn't be happy getting knocked around.

I did a balloon flight a couple of years ago and the pilot kept the balloon quite low, to maximise the views. At the time I had a "prosumer" camera with a 200mm which was enough to catch 90% of the shots I wanted.
As mentioned there's not much room in there so you probably need to keep kit to a minimum
