Helter Skelter,
Try and swing the introductory lesson for a clear sunny day - it does happen occasionally in Jan + Feb! See if the instructor can take you east towards Dublin city, then across to Killiney and then back to Leixlip. ATC will probably stick yeese under 1000ft, if that route is possible on the day.
Then you'll be completely hooked for life!
Enjoy.
