I've been gliding for the last 4 years or so and would recommend it! Go along to your nearest club (Portmoak?) and have a look around - glider pilots are a friendly bunch, have a chat to some members and go for a trial lesson, see if you like it! If you're anything like me you'll be hooked after that.
In that 4 years I've ended up owning an aircraft and qualifying as an instructor!
Gliding clubs tend to be a little less formal than power flying schools, and typically requires a little bit more time and commitment, as they're mainly volunteer run, but for me that was all part of the fun.
Feel free to fire away with any questions and I'll do my best!
