TZ - never got back to doing it after the disaster of my club @ EGHH losing my log book / licence 4 yrs ago! Had a 6 mth break in training which means I really need to go back to stage 1. Mrs CB seems to be happy to pay for us to have a holiday in FLA (yes, I know all the arguments!!) so that she can sun herself by the pool whilst I sweat my rocks off getting an IMC!! [FAA IR option is attractive but we're somewhat lacking in the flying voucher dept at the moment!!].
PS Don't drop dead with surprise if you see my name in the Wilts / Hants area in the near future - various options being considered with respect to my beer voucher supplier!!
