I'm just coming back to gliding after a brake of more than 20 years, yesterday was my second day of flying & I'm feeling pretty happy with how things are going.

Both taken with a 7D + 10-22mm

I have to admit that as an Air Cadet at age 17 I failed my Gliding course, I had problems with landing :(. I much prefered the winch as a mode of launch, although of course you do not get nearly so much time in the air. I'd love to give it another go but would never pass the medical to go solo.

I can understand that Pete, but just remember that gliding is still probably the best bang for your buck when you are looking at going flying. If you are thinking about it don't let time go by without trying it, you wont be disappointed.
