the weather has been crazy in last 4 months or so - but take time to take in your solo XC its an amazing landmark in your journey to PPL. I did mine in September last year, and remember so much - loved it.
Having said that its easy to lose concentration or get distracted like i was at one point and can easily be dangerous - with no one there as per usual like your instructor to point out any probs or dangers etc...
other than that it just simply is great fun!!!
