Fly with another more experienced pilot is also an option.
... or even another bloke who's recently passed PPL and at same level as yourself: you'll find you will be able to help each other progress safely, two heads are better than one, and it's twice the fun! See if you can hook up with a like-minded person through your club. Put a notice on the board for someone to share some day-trips with!
Hope this helps,
Andy
