PPL Log book
Only three and half hours in - has stalled recently due to weather, commitments etc.
I did trial gliding session yesterday - about 45 minutes flying excluding take off and landing.
Can i put that in my log book for type although I imagine it won't count as hours? ASK21 at Kent Gliding Club - loved it and learnt a lot more about rudder control than flying a C152.....and the view out of the window
...lol canopy was excellent.

...lol canopy was excellent.Just be be mindful that when you apply for your actual licence you will need to be able to prove your relevant hours. If you don’t do monthly summaries then an end of course/licence summary would be a good way of doing it.
Gliding time won’t help you hours wise but it is brilliant for learning, as you’ve found out. Motor gliders do count to a point, you can log a percentage of the time towards the licence.

No problem at all.
Just pick a spare column you're unlikely to ever use (say, multi-engine night), and change the heading to "gliding P/UT", then you can add up any gliding time separately and not inadvertently add it incorrectly into your aeroplane / single engine piston totals.
I used to use a commercial logbook, it had columns for 3-axis and flexwing microlights, SEP, glider training, and a bunch of other things that were never in there when Pooleys sold it to me in 1989: dead easy with either tippex, or nowadays an office printer and some spray adhesive. [Eventually I just designed and had printed my own logbook, but that's a fairly extreme solution.]
Job done.
