To be honest i think I am getting more reluctant to fly in crap wx VFR the more hours I have under my belt.
May be its because people can say less and less about my refusal the more experence I have. And more to the point I really don't give a toss any more about there opinion of me if i do refuse to fly in conditions which I ain't happy with
I'm finding exactly the same thing.
Penguina,
Just re-read your last post. Firstly, I absolutely agree with dublinpilot; you HAD to be somewhere, so don't fly...too much of a risk of get-home-itis. Secondly, you say you phoned the school; who did you speak to? In my experience, school owners, managers, people on the desk etc know nothing about weather conditions and if you should fly or not. It looks nice; they think you should fly....never mind the forecast. Someone else went up, you should fly...never mind that they have zillions of hours and you don't. Even some instructors are far too gung-ho; they may be able to fly, and even teach, but their decision making FOR YOU isn't that great; they don't know enough about people. Ultimately they're all human, with human failings. Only YOU can decide. IMHO, no-one in their right minds who didn't absolutely have to would have been flying in the gusty winds we had last Friday, let alone a newish PPL who does this for fun who absolutely had to get back.
I have only one bit of advice for you - TRUST YOURSELF!.
