Similar to my first "flight" as a licensed pilot. My friend, who has a lot of experience, and time on helos as well as fixed wing, was coming with me. The weather wasn't great, so I opted for a few circuits (also keeping things simple, thus reducing embarassment potential!). When we got to the holding point I was sure the cloud base was lowering, so called ATC to check. It had dropped 400 foot in 15 minutes, to 800'. So we taxied back to park the aircraft.
