Grin ought to last a bit longer yet...
Quite a few hours clocked actually - I put myself on a kind of 'accelerated programme' recently. Was actually going to do 1st land away solo today, but weather was slightly dodgy when the time came. I'm now pretty confident in the circuit and have the basics of navigation. And significantly poorer!
People said 1st solo is the best, but I'm not so sure actually. There's always a new achievement to look towards.
