thx all, for you quick replies and thought out answers- it really is a great community here. in an attempt to try and limit the number of variables at play here-these are the facts:
ive been offered tug work at my local glider field on a cub. The closest airfields to me are - lashenden/goodwood/shoreham/redhill/blackbushe. The budget: as im a student, as low as poss! i got my ppl in low hours; however i know thats no gauge. with the current weather im guessing a field with tarmac is a neccesity-shoreham would be my first choice. However firstly, landing fees are excessive there and secondly im always looking to here other peoples experiences of learning to fly and which clubs ticked the right boxes for them, financially and instruction wise.
