I'm with G-EMMA and Broomstickpilot...so to speak...
....
This summer is about as rubbish as last summer when July was a wash out or too windy. I was doing my PPL and spent most of July waiting for a day for my crosscountry and, later, for my test.
The only saving grace for the summer of '08 - for me at least - is that it hasn't had much effect on my hour-building, CPL or MEP rating. It seems that CPL Instructors are much more willing to fly in poor conditions as you can always fly round the showers and the pilots and aircraft are more capable of negotiating the conditions.
Still, much sympathy to all those trying to get up in the air, but failing for one reason or another...
