Chocks away! Don't forget to duck
Article Abstract:
Experiences of learning to fly a propeller plane are described. A propeller plane is very light, and therefore feels very unsteady at first. However, the feel of the open cockpit soon becomes exhilarating. The plane cannot fly very fast, but is extremely agile, and it is possible to perform many different manoeuvres. Some people enjoy having direct control of the plane, while others dislike feeling vulnerable to the elements. It is possible to arrange a trial lesson to see whether you will like flying.

A natural high
Article Abstract:
Winter mountaineering can bring many challenges but considerable excitement. Snow and ice will probably be encountered, and there may be a risk of avalanches. However, the scenery will be marvellous, and it may be possible to use more direct routes to the peaks. Those undertaking winter mountaineering must be sure to exercise good judgement and risk assessment, being careful to acknowledge that there may be limits to what they can achieve.
