If you've got a pang for flying or being extremely top-down nosey, then there's no finer and cheaper activity than microlighting. These days it's far removed from flying by the seat of your pants in ice cold conditions. The model that we flew (Ikarus C42) resembles a regular small airplane and the lay person would struggle to tell any difference.

Great flight, silky smooth till we hit the squal of rain that was over the field and we started getting chucked around a bit with the wind varying and crosswind to both runways, great fun! Location was Strathaven Airfield

After a prop break in flight (400ft on takeoff) where the part that broke off hit the wing and made a small tear, and an engine out landing, I finally went solo in a Pegasus Q :). Must say a massive thanks to the airfield owner Colin, and to my instructor Graham. Cheers guys.
