I appreciate all the replies and apologise for not responding sooner.
I took a trial lesson with Soloflight on Saturday and found everybody to be very friendly and welcoming, the instructor was very good in my opinion - Told it how it was, explained how they see a lot of young people like myself through the doors who don't study for exams and fail etc.
The instructor I had was Stuart if I remember correctly, he seemed to have a very good knowledge and allowed me total control besides landing - Showed me how to do a rudder turn, I applied too much rudder and he made sure he got the message in my head never to put my foot flat down again!!!!!!
Surprisingly, 2 people where talking about PPRuNe while I was waiting for my instructor to come along!
I've booked another lesson for 16th March with the same instructor, I wasn't pushed into anything and I was told not to buy anything until I've had a few lessons and I'm sure I want to do the full PPL course.. Of course, I just had to buy a log book!
