Narrative:
Inadvertently I flew into 'IMC' conditions while flying to 0a7. WX conditions deteriorated and I contacted ZTL and was vectored to gmu. The WX conditions at gmu were not suitable for landing. I was vectored VFR to avl where I found a hole to descend to a safe VFR landing. I have discussed this situation with my flight instructor who is working with me in achieving my instrument rating. This will not happen again.
