I'm sure the weather will clear up by April or so...
No hope!!! Being about half way through my navs I can tell you that the weather just does not cooperate. One recent flight in particular I attempted five times, actually getting in the air and diverting twice, due weather - seems I have a little personal raincloud that follows me around Addams Family-style... hehe. I'm beginning to doubt that Bathurst actually exists!! We ended up giving up on that particular route...
Then again, once in a while you get very nice conditions - and then you REALLY enjoy the flying!!

And Sunfish - after 45-odd hours on the 152 (up to GFPT) I also upgraded to a Warrior for my navs - tell ya what, took me a little while to get used to it but I'm loving it now. Actually took it solo (just in the circuit) for the first time this morning - apart from one dodgy, bouncy land-bounce-goaround thing it was pretty sweet...
