Pension options now self-employed!

Hi, can you help?
I have just gone self employed and will be for the forseeable future. I had a group pension plan with my previous employer.
I had intended to just carry on paying in a bit each month, but having read the articles on this site, I realise there are many options open to me such as repensioning and transferring or opening a new fund.
There is only a small bit of money - its with Clerical Medical and I am under the adventurous investment as I will be paying in for at least another 30 years.
Having read this would anyone in the know advise keeping it where it is or looking to move or changing my investment option?
I saw Martin's 'advisors' suggested Legal and General or Standard Life as possible better bets?
Any thoughts would be warmly welcomed.
I have spoken with IFA's before but not always impressed.
Thanks
