That El - Nino....he's a cheeky chappy.
G SXTY, quite seriously go somewhere hot and sunny. I did the first 10 hours of my PPL at White Waltham ......and it took me 3-4 months due to the WX (even with almost obsessional vigilance). I finally thought Billix to this and nipped over the water and completed the whole shebang in 10 days. I then spent another 14 days hour building.
I came back with 82 hours TT and a night rating.
Definitely worth it.
Cheers........
