I am doing my hour building at Stapleford, It is possible to get at least 5 hours flying per day. I am living on the airfield so when the weather is not so good if there is a break in the weather you can quickly get an hour in. I really enjoy it and the weather tests your ability as a pilot to deal with strong cross winds make decisions to return to the airfield due to fronts. The skies are busy over here and you need to be sharp on the RT which flying in the uk does. I have a night rating which you need for the CPL which allows me to fly until 7pm. I will spend a lot of hours travelling to France and maybe go to Amsterdam. If you need to get the hours done quickly and have limited funds you might be better off going to the US but I have 2 months to do 70 hours should not be a problem in the UK.
