Hey
BEagle, thanks for the words of encouragement... and nice to know there's someone who doesn't charge a fee
The scenario you describe is definitely one which comes to mind when I think of why I want an IMC rating; I think it would reduce the stress and indigestion caused to a nice lunch as you describe if you spend te whole afternoon just worrying (as I have at LFAT!) that the wx may deteriorate making the retunr trip difficult...
Also, days like today - and the last couple of days - which I have spent on the ground (at Bath with family on a short break): hazy beneath a relatively low cloud-base, but I coulod see thgrough the breaks to the blue above and spent a lot of time gazing skywards and wondering what it will be like to cruise in nice clear blue skies ABOVE the cloud layer, en-route to an instrument let down at my favourite destination(s)..!
Until that day......
Andy
