Thanks again everyone - you're a great bunch for taking time out to offer advice.
I have even printed out the postings ! - sad or what!
Just to fill you in I have had 1.5 hrs in circuits/landings and I was quite pleased with the first lesson (45mins) - managed to get on the ground (sort of) most times, but the second lesson was a nightmare - you know - all over the place nearly every time. Think I landed (bounced) only once the others were go-rounds/instructor interventions.
I can relate to many of your comments especially - "thought I might fly into the ground" - that certainly went through my mind and I kept checking airspeed. Perhaps I am not looking outside enough. The fact that there always seemed to be someone lined up waiting to take off as I was trying to land was very off-putting .:o Well, I'll be trying again on Friday so I'm hoping to put your advice into practice.
