I am SOOOOO relieved to read that someone else has to drive as far as I do! I started out in gliders a couple of years ago, switched to power and now fly UK Microlights (sports aircraft I guess) and am just adding a rating to enable me to fly 172s etc. I still want to go back to finish gliding someday. You’ve restored my faith and renewed my commitment and I’ll think of you having another half hour to go when I next arrive at the club 😊
