47 hours, between my trial lesson end of Jan and passing a PPL skills test in early December. Hope to do about 40 - 50 hours this year with some further training (tailwheel, aeros, some different type checkouts in the cause of sharpening my pure handling skills & experience) along with a good belt of P1 navigating up and down the country. I suspect that the IMC may have to wait until 2003 - I want to strike a careful balance between learning new skills and refining existing ones through greater experience of using them.
Also hoping that the right shared ownership opportunity will come along at some stage (no rush, there's plenty to be getting on with) and that I will recognise it when it does...
