What height do YOU fly at ?

I fly at 2,000ft amsl on the QNH. Why ? Well, I did through all of my training. Thinking about it though, why do I do that ? I don't really know. Why don't I fly @ 3,000ft amsl ? Well, that's just for stall practice.

As I brimble about I see lots of other pilots @ 2,000ft and so it seems a common practice.

Somebody mentioned that flying higher is better because you will pass over danger areas more readily. Thinking about this, it's true, 2,000ft does seem to put you into quite a few danger areas if your navigation goes ever so slightly wrong.

So what altitude do you fly at ? And why ? Do I simply use the quadraleteral rule in future and fly that FL (obviously after examining my charts for CAS) ?
