I’d joined the basic training week, run by Nelson Lakes Gliding Club at their Lake Station base. There were six students for the course. Two made solo flights. I didn’t – but I was hooked. And I was impatient to make progress: at age 63 one has a rather heightened awareness of how fast the years rush by, and the need to use them well.
