Exams...
 

I've done 10hrs in a 152. Solo'd in a K13 and my PPL exams expired in August.
I'm returning to flying now.
Friends suggested I used the motor glider or a microlight to save some money and then convert to PPL.
I'm ready to resit my PPL exams again, but they're telling me I have to do my Microlight exams first but nobody is sure!

I don't want to spend money on NPPL (m) exams. I also just recently learned microlight hours aren't valid towards CPL.

Should I ditch my friends advice and just get back into a 152?
