PA28 - I am in the same situation as you. PPL tied up now, night rating underway at Leeds Bradford (Multi-flight) and considering my cross country while the days are cold and clear. I have planned a provisional route from leeds bradford (southerly VFR departure) overhead Dewsbury, direct Gamston VOR then direct to Earls Cone on the South East coast. From here onto southend for aircraft refuel and pilot de-fuel then direct DET VOR and finally LYD VOR and into Lydd. I chose this route coz I did all my training at lydd and the south-east and want to take my girlfriend home for a family visit. Might even swindle some time off uni and go france for the weekend. Hmmmm Valentines day in france!!!! Two birds - one stone. Hope this helps. This route is only a provisional one but shouldn't be too far from the actual.Total distance = about 460 miles return (Just looking quickly, might be a bit less)
Hope this helps
