Even with the weather being as it has been, you can still complete roughly 30+ hours in 2 weeks (even with 7/8 days not being able to fly).
The weather here is probably more what you will expect if your a UK pilot as it gives you experience of flying in UK conditions and also experience of UK Air Traffic....AND the UK is full of airspace, so I think it provides some valuable experience instead of "purely" hour building in order to get the hours up.
I've learnt a lot from my hour building in the UK and I feel it has made me a better pilot in both challenges and new experiences.
