Another option might be to try gliding. The main clubs in the area are; Edensoaring which is open 7 days per week near Penrith, Portmoak near loch leven or Deeside club at Aboyne. Converting from gliding to power can be a cheaper route than the obvious flying club route.

Portmoak is 7 days a week, all year round, weather permitting. I think Edensoaring stopped when the clocks changed and will reopen when they change again next March.
If the OP is in central Scotland then Aboyne is a long trek.
