I can only fly weekends so have a 2 hr slot every sunday morning blocked
booked.  I dont worry so much about being rained (or snowed) off now cos I
was to enjoy the journey and not just get to the destination.  It also
means the money is spent more slowly..

Cabair instructors are often just hour building for their CPL so take you
up (and spend your money) even in crap weather when you cant do your
lesson properly.  I preferred the smaller club-like atmosphere of TPC
personally.

Also the cabair costs dont include landing fees etc.  When I costed it all
up cabair would have been almost £3k more expensive over all. Last thing I
want to be thinking when doing circuits is that every landing is going to
cost me another £20!
