Thanks for the comments so far....and keep them coming.
Like I said in the original post I have experienced this sort of thing before just not so bad. I am not the hero type who never admits a weakness or hides behind bravado and I readily admit that on take off when at about 100' the left wing lifted sharply and for a split second I thought it would flip and send us earthbound. In hindsight I realise I was being a bit silly but it didn't feel like that at the time.
It felt like the a/c was flying me and made me doubt my ability. I guess it's all character building and I will hopefully look back one day and laugh at myself instead of the current feeling of embarassment I have.

Route was Sherburn-Gamston. (was originally to be Blackpool but that's for another thread) We were at 2300ft, maybe we should have gone higher from what you say. I very rarely get to 3000ft but would like to know if it does get smoother up there.
How do others deal with it ?
