Thanks GTW, TonyR
It all slowly starts fitting into place. I agree with going up with other pilots - I met DiscoChocolate at the school, and will go up with him when he passes as he is much further ahead of me. Until then, it's just a case of finding someone to fly with who lives near Liverpool.
Its a shame that I will be insulted - I simply cannot see why, as I am not insulting anyone else, making nasty comments or disrupting the forums in any way. It is very sad.
Thank you
