PPL, change to NPPL?

Hi All!

I am currently learning to fly at Biggin Hill and am about half way (into the min! hours of the PPL training) due to some issues with the CAA and my heart opp I had to go for some tests - Taking over 5 months to complete it was therefore decided that we should go onto Nav then go back into the circt once I had my medical air law etc. At my medical it was also established that I was slightly colour blind (Worrying health eh?) so I have had a restriction put on my license meaning that I can do night flying (and I assume IMC) I plan to only fly as a hobby, I am also looking at getting into Microlighting as well as flying fixed wing. I assume with the NPPL my microlight hours would be able to keep me current? Do you think this is a good idea? Is the NPPL safe?

Any advice/help is gratefully received!

Thanks!!! Tom
