Cenus_ Yep looks like we are in the same city. Who are you doing your PPL with?
I am just about to complete a scuba diving course and I been training for for the least 6 months and I have loved the challenge and satisfaction of learning a completely new skill. Part of me wants to do a PPL for the same reasons. I love learning new things, especially technical ones, and feel I would really enjoy doing a PPL.
It's just the costs are much higher than diving! The diving course cost me £300 and will cost about £20 if I want to go for a days diving. A PPL would probably cost the best part of £10K and about £120 an hour to fly for fun once qualified!
