Interesting to see that the link above leads to the same website that is advertised every month now in Pilot/Flyer/Loop:

I'm a low hours PPL (100) and I have got to say that anything that adds a bit of spice into what (from a newbie's perspective) seems to be an industry being driven into the ground by ludicrous costs and an inability to adapt has to be good, even if it isn't right for me!
I have reached a point where club aircraft don't allow me to do the things that made me get my licence. I'm loathed to buy into a share because, although I've met some really nice group members, it puts me outside my comfort zone being a part owner in an industry I don't know well. I'm sure the politics horror stories I've heard are exaggerated but I just want to pay my money and fly.
What I'm after is value for money, I don't think there is such a thing as cheap flying outside microlights is there?
