I am somewhat surprised that nobody on this thread has suggested learning to fly properly
Thats just written off all his chances of learning to fly then. Yep fly gliders, they don't go anywhere, except round in circles, you will stand around all day freezing to get a flight after you have pulled,pushed and generally dogsbodied heavy fibreglass around hoping to get some in.
I suggest paramotoring at least you go where/when you want.
