The other thing is, i am my own boss, so when theres a good day i can take time off and be at prestwick in under 15 Min's, when i was flying from strathaven it was at least an hour there and then back, plus the prep time, food etc, so 5 hours or half a day off work and only 1 hours flying time.
so def going to have a look at the flight school first, they seem more of a 9 to 5 outfit and this may suit me better
When i went to strathaven, the money i spent on travel and work not done whilst away waiting for weather could have helped pay for my PPL(A) now that i think about it, it's prob, my cheapest option
