I decided to give up work for a year back in November and get loads of flying,motorcycling and mountains done.
Unfortunately our poor weather this year has put a damper on all three.
Ive only flown about 20 hours so far this year (even with no work to stop me) and like Phororacus I try to make the flight a land away somewhere in order to keep all of my skills up to speed in anticipation of future flying adventures later in the year.
I know some folk who just bang about the circuit because, due to lack of hours dont have the confidence to do anything other than sticking within shouting distance of their chosen club especially when the only slot they have booked provides marginal weather.
Lets hope we get a break soon.
