Ah fair enough! I suppose I did get lucky thinking about it, we had two 2-seaters out with 4 pilots hanging about, and there were only 5 of us punters waiting to fly in the 6pm-sunset evening slot, so there was plenty of time to faff about slightly.
Incidentally, I was talking to another glider rookie today and he said that getting a solo qualification on a glider entitles one to a 75% reduction in hour building needed to attain a PPL. Is this true? Sounds a rather attractive prospect to me given that £7 a launch is somewhat cheaper than £150 an hour!
