I've never tugged, but I've done some gliding (winch site, but did aerotows on my initial course at Nympsfield). Parachute dropping I did for a few years and that can either be boring (too windy, sit on the ground all day watching parachute videos) or relentless when conditions are good.
I remember one day I'd flown the aeroplane out from Manchester to the club and woken them up with a low pass past the tower, landed, then sat on the ground all day as the wind was gusting 25 kts. Come 5 o'clock the free-fallers said "come on Shaggy, we're giving it a go". Well, one landed in the canal, another about 2 miles away... Mad!
Those days it was static line drops with the studes - there's few tales I can tell about that but it'd be off thread.
In the end the club was closed after a fatal accident (thankfully on a weekend I wasn't there), but by then I'd had enough of flying but being unable to choose where to go and when.
