I fly a cherokee from Scotland and have been into Mull with 3 people onboard in good wx. I am also a low hours PPL.
From what I have seen EGCJFlyer has already done good planning and has good ideas of what his limitations are and that of the aircraft.
Some of the replies are a good indication on why there are so many low hour PPL's sticking to the Local Flying Area of their home base. He has done the planning and the calculations and has plans for if the wx is marginal.
I look forward to sharing the skies up here with somebody willing to stretch their wings and go further. They will also have hours worth 5 times as much as doing local flights.
Now about the weather...
