Try Gliding?
TotalBeginner, which part of the country do you fly in? If there is a good, and I stress good, gliding club near bye it might be worth thinking about joining. A winch launch can cost as little as 2 pints of beer and renting a glider can cost around £30 per hour and sometimes free after 2 hours. Once you get in to gliding cross country you will see how challenging and rewarding it is ( stuff local soaring). Many gliding clubs have a tail dragger as a tug and that too is a fun way to spend an unsoarable day. Many people underestimate the challenge and fun of flying a glider cross country for 4-500 kms on a not very good soaring day.
