When I started looking for somewhere to learn, I thought it was limiting that there were only 2 or 3 clubs nearby (less than 45 mins drive). I suppose that's me being all "London" eh? Sorry about that!
But 2 hours each way, and a 2 hour lesson, that's just huge. And the fuel to get there an back must cost a fair bit over the duration. Something like that would make me think about going on one of these US or European 3 week courses. Gotta be cheaper.
And what if you set off and 2 hours later, get to the airport to find the lesson cancelled. You really do have my sympathy. Must be a nightmare.
Hope you find somewhere to learn! Good luck. IPZ
