got the PPL at YWOL as it happens
Ah, the 'Gong! I stopped in there once in a rented Arrow from YSBK... I am ashamed to admit that I nearly landed on the wrong runway... not being familiar with ERSA (over here I use Jepp/Bottlang charts where usually north is ta the top of the page) I hadn't twigged that the orientation of the page was "sideways" and so I got my join all muddled up -- didn't really matter as there was no-one else in the circuit, but still felt a goose!

Lemme know when you're down this way next...
wilco!

Its not all so bad over here though, btw... this can also be a very beautiful landscape in which to fly... here for example is a snap taken on a perfect CAVOK day last summer (now I wouldln't want you to think it's ALYWAYS like that here though!):
