Another point.....I do not know why you want a PPL but it is the case that the drop out rate after gaining a licence is very high.
I suggest that it makes sense not to focus on the licence itself but on the flying.
If you have lessons at the rate that you can afford to sustain as a hirer after you have the licence you will not get the 'financial hangover' that stops many from flying for a while after qualification. They then get into the perpetual check situation because they are never current on the occasions they can afford to fly, it all becomes soul destroying and they give up.
If you want to be involved in flying then at a good club you will be, and will feel to be, as soon as you begin to learn. And you will continue to be for as long as you want because you can afford what you are doing in a sustainable way. Solo will arrive; cross country and eventually a licence. You then just carry on.
