Nice to know I wasn't the only one.
A drink would have been a good idea but I think I would have probably finished up wearing more than I drunk. I was more concerned with keeping attitude rather than exact heights etc. and that was generally fine, but it was the way one wing kept lifting more than the other which was most disconcerting for me. Straightforward "bumps" I am used to, but the "kick" of one wing seemed more pronounced than I was used to.
Still it is good experience (or so I tell myself) and has been duly noted in the old log book.
