Why do it if it's not fun?

Penguina,
Just another voice to add to those that have said you made the right choice. Especially since I know the route you were planning on flying.... I certainly wouldn't have flown that route this weekend.
For what it was worth, I was flying for much of the weekend, and the weather - in between the showers - was beautiful. At times the gaps between the showers were so big that I was even able to do a relatively short nav trip without any weather concerns. But in general there was sufficient weather around that probably over half of the flights I did involved at least some dodging weather..... certainly not the type of conditions in which you're going to be able to do a longish cross-country with any confidence of actually being able to arrive at your destination.

you say you phoned the school; who did you speak to?
Ultimately they're all human, with human failings. Only YOU can decide
Thank you dp, Whirly, FFF & madjock.
Wimps of the world unite!
Now, when can I next go flying...?

Was going for anonymity, but as I suspect most people already know who I am these days, what the hell?
I was to be flying from London to the west coast of Wales (with a re-fuel stop at Swansea) as I was helping a choir compete in the competition in Cardigan this weekend.
FFF knew this because I consulted his professional opinion earlier last week.
Congratulations, by the way, FFF: another place for me to visit before the summer's out it would seem!
