Default First Solo

Why do a PPL? Focus on gliding - cross country and task/competition
flying is fantastic fun! A big fan in front is just like flying a
computer game!


I second that. But the expression "continue to PPL" shows that you are
not yet a glider pilot. You should rather continue to cross country
flying to discover what gliding is all about. Power flying is a step
*backwards* from gliding.
