Yeah, once you start reading all the literature about on that, it puts you off taking risks with straying too close to IMC unqualified...
HH - congratulations! That was quite an eventful first solo!
BTW - I told you so! 
Mazzy - hello, and I'm doing very well thanks.
& you? Very remiss of me not to make my presence felt more on this thread, but in my defence I've been busy.
The night training... well lets just say the weather's helping me spin out every last second of pleasure - and I am enjoying it no end so I am quite glad in a way!
Finally managed to solo last week, so I just have an hour or so to complete now. Enjoyed the solo very much. A rather attention-seeking wind, a game of hide and seek with a bizjet, three satisfying landings then home for tea and medals.
Then I left the airfield and got on the wrong bus. Non-essentials off and all that!
