Having 2 lessons back to back was probably the best decision I've made so far. I feel like I've made an enormous amount of progress this weekend, going from complete incompetence to actually having a vague idea how to fly the aircraft!
Today we handled 'proper' climbs and descents, taxying (aside from going the wrong way and fumbling with the brakes I didn't make too much of a hash of this) and I even made a very nervous-sounding radio call although I'm convinced the subsequent silent pause from the controller was him trying to work out whether it was a genuine call or some prankster having a laugh

Thanks for the advice guys. The slightly 'OT' posts in this thread have been most informative too

Now for some light reading... in the form of the Air Law manual
