Question Advice for a newbie

Hello, (from a 1st time poster)

In the New Year I will hopefully be starting out on a sure fire way to deplete lot's of money from my Bank account ie: start lessons.

At the moment I haven't decided whether it will be for the PPL or NPPL. I have good health but a little put-off by what seems very stringent medicals (though obviously for very good reasons). I don't really have any intention to fly abroad so the NPPL maybe the best option. What say you guys?? The fact that the number of required hours for the NPPL is less has no bearing for me as I will do as many hours as it takes, if that's 50, 60, 70 , 80 then fine (any excuse to get up in the sky !)

However the main question is for some advice on choosing the correct flying school. I live in Bexleyheath in Kent, could you recommend schools in Kent / SE London.

At the moment I am itching to get up for my 1st lesson !!! and have purchased what seems like a library of books !!!

many thanks
