Thanks to all.
I am finding that the flying I have been doing is sporadic and often without any great purpose other an attempt to keep some level of currency and therefore often involves an hour in the local training area, as I have planned for tomorrow. It is not so much a case of I have £10k to spend, it is more a case of once the decision to commit the funds has been taken it opens up many options other than burning holes in the sky making myself dizzy just outside the ATZ.
I am surprised how few responses re further formal training; IMCr, CPL, FI there are with the majority leaning towards joining a syndicate.
It seems I will have to investigate this option further.
Maoraigh1, you were just getting me all excited about your syndicate and aircraft availability and then you have to spoil it by telling me there are no shares available. Dear oh dear. Are you aware of any other syndicates with such low utilisation and availability?
To those who suggested gliding as an option, I should have said that the decision to join a gliding club had already been taken, in fact I had my first 2 flights with them just today. The £10k is a sum I am prepared to spend and believe is necessary to commit to powered flying to improve skills. I guess the tail wheel experience could come in handy for being a tug pilot?
