Ben
Have you tried Sherburn? Im learning there at the moment. 4 runways 1 tarmac which reduces number of flying days with wet runways and crosswinds above limits. Also mix of aircraft from C150's PA28 Cadets which Im learning in and also PA28 Warriors which you move onto when doing Nav. There is also a Robin for Aerobatics. There are 700 members,not all students,so there are quite a few aircraft based at the field and usually shares available. I currently pay £110.00 per hour including aircraft Hire,fuel and instructors fee.
Also the clubhouse has just been upgraded.
I know it may be a trek from Halifax,but I recommend you try Sherburn.
If you want a good look round I would be quite happy to meet you for a Beer and show you round.
Also Ben have you thought about asking on here if anyone would like to start a share sindicate? I would be interested if you want to go that way?
