PPL in NW UK?

HI all,

I will soon be moving from Kenya to NW England for around 6 months and then on to Edinburgh. My Kenyan PPL is worthless in the UK, although I assume my logbook has value. So I guess I basically need to start again to get a UK PPL. In fact I am very rusty having not flown much for the last 2 years, and the UK airspace and ATC is very different from what I am used to, so a fresh start probably would be a good thing anyway. Any thoughts on the approach to make to UK authorities and a flight school (Harwarden is close) to help with the transition?

Also, what's the cost of flying in the UK?! In Kenya we work on a total cost of around $100/hour for a C172.
