Well done Kev! Keep at it
I followed the gliding - PPL route as well. After three years of gliding I then did my PPL over two years. It took only 35 hours as I continued to fly gliders whilst I was doing it, so didn't go backwards between sporadic lessons. I then struggled for years to keep current as family, job changes ect all took financial preferance. I managed somehow though I still don't fly as much as I'd like ... however, this will soon change as the T31 is nearing completion (see

So you're not alone and I'm sure there are many many others out there with their heads in the clouds but never enough money in their pockets. You sound like you will succeed so good luck to you

PS .... Love aeros, but fair ground rides frighten the CR@P out of me
