I booked a weekly lesson expecting some to be cancelled due to weather or work and that doesn't seem to be the case. Winter is on its way though which I'm sure will peg me back a few weeks.
I remember when I started I was told that if I wanted to do 1 lesson a week to book 2 and expect about 1 to get cancelled on average, so I've been doing that from the start and end up doing the 2 lessons more weeks than I expected, so I see what you mean.
Have you ever found that it's "too much" in terms of mental capacity though? I found one weekend I was flying 2 days in a row and did find that I wasn't quite ready for the next lesson mentally, so there definitly is a too much for me I think.

Plan was to intro a bit of nav (enjoyed this part) and do plenty of T&G/landings at Halfpenny Green where it's cheaper than Glos. A good plan, until we got to Halfpenny Green and the cloud base was pretty low and murky. Managed a T&G, then landed for a brew to see if it cleared. Got back in the air, it hadn't cleared so one more T&G then back to Gloucester. It seems like it was just murky around Halfpenny Green as it cleared just a couple of miles south.
Super interesting lesson! The fact that you had to stay at the field for a break waiting for weather I bet is excellent experience of what it'll be like in real trips!
