Shooting off the runway - like others minus a couple of cwt! - I wondered how i'd got to 800ft so quickly and I'm only just turning crosswind. Lots of talking to myself (not much has changed). The same feeling as others expressed was that I'm up here and it's up to me get this thing down. The actual landing was pretty average and my final recollection was AFIS telling me "Congratulations, you can start breathing again now".
Every time I fly, especially when I'm alone, I still get the same feeling of elation when I'm back on the ground. I think it borders on self satisfied "I did that - how many of you down there can say the same"
