Hi Chequeredflag,
I would really echo what Penguina says above. You will probably feel like you're never going to get there - and fall asleep on the downwind leg - whilst getting really frustrated that you can't quite flare at the right height, in the right direction, consistently.
If you look back through the previous pages, you'll see how frustrated I became whilst my own inexperience, weather and tensions got the better of me.
It took me around 20 hours in total, although about 15 of them were with my current flying school - since March last year. The previous 5 hours were some time ago at a different school.
Above all, don't rush. A friend of mine, who now flies A320s for BA recently told me that, when he was instructing, he found those who went solo later turned into 'better rounded pilots'. Hours to solo is rarely an indication of how long it will take you to complete the ppl and, to be honest, although I was keen to solo earlier, with hindsight I'm glad I had plenty of experience under my belt before I did. It made for a much more relaxing adventure.
Happy flying!
HH
(and wish me luck for the weather tomorrow!)
