Legally you would be able to do everything post solo sign off, so you wont be restricted to the circuit, I did mention that
However the first hurdle is to find an FTO that will take on a PPL/FI (I have heard it is almost impossible) And if you do find an FTO that will take, I bet they will impose club restrictions on you so you couldn't do the further afield flights..at least until you gained quiet a few hours as PPL/FI and for them. All speculation though.
