nice shots Mark...i know the 'tree-are-getting-bigger-really-fast'-feeling very well.

Good luck on the solo Ken Wink One tip, wear leather gloves, you'll be able to hold onto the stick without being overly tight on the controls. The first solo is always a sweaty palms job Wink

Tell me about it Paul, its the whole lack of an engine thing that keeps me off gliders these days. I flew them as an Air Cadet many millenia ago, but after discovering the joys of the de Havilland Chipmunk and how much more scary fun you could have with an engine..... and live to tell the tale of course Wink Grin
