Get class 2 medical
Get SPL
Get PPl but get hours reduced from prior gliding experience
Go to New Zealand, they offer an OCVA (operational colour visual assessment), I should be able to pass that, I have read through the spec, it mainly involves, chart reading (I know that already), strobe lights (red-white), runway lights, ground objects, instrument colours (probably the speed strips on the ASI.) This wil give me a class 1 medical for the New Zealand CAA.
Join a flight school, become a pilot.
If anyone can spot anything wrong with this, give me a heads up. Thanks for the continued help!

All I'd add is don't rush it - it's not the Battle of Britain! I know it's an expensive bug that bites us but it's better to be good than fast!
