You could do what I did when I wanted to know what I needed to do to revalidate my licence:
Email your question to the CAA.
Get a response back, directing you to read LASORs.
Download LASORs from the CAA website http://www.caa.co.uk/srg/licensing/fcl/document.asp?groupid=292 (you need to click on section C)
Print it out.
Sit down with a few cups of coffee and read it through.
Get very very confused.
Send the CAA an email asking them to clarify.
Receive a reply back four weeks later that leaves you none the wiser.
So take a wander down to your local flying school who’ll be able to tell you exactly what you want to know straight away.
Me, cynical? Never…. 😀
Seriously though, LASOR’s is a good starting point, and should give you a lot of help initially. Good luck.

I started in 1982 at the age of 12. At the time in the UK you could not fly a light aircraft solo until you were 17 so I had to wait until I was 17 to complete the license.

I believe you can properly start your PPL at age 16. I always remember hearing tales of lucky young individuals who learn to fly before they can drive! Hours count from age 15 (?? or have I got that wrong? ) but no solo’ing until 16.
