The rest of your post belies a lack of experience in light aircraft matters. So "walk before run" .. go and take a trial lesson or two at differing schools and discuss your plans with them.

Good luck!

Thanks, yes, sorry, IMC

Spoke with a very helpful chap at MainAir so I am just going to go for the trial and go from there. He advised IMC is for getting out of bad weather rather than deliberately flying in it so that pretty much landed me firmly on NPPL rather than PPL. I'm coming from fifteen years of only having pursued an interest in IFR and passenger jets hence my lack of knowledge of the GA philosophy and approach to flying, so like you say, I'll walk before I run...

Thanks,
Jon
