£50 coffee - oh no! Better things to do?
The flying is great and the hours are nicely accumulating, as well as hopefully the experience. The trips are getting longer, when time permits. Aeros and IMC all add to the challenge. However, sometimes just getting there and turning around is not enough!
Many airports have little of interest close by and/or the taxi fares just add to the cost. There are some exceptions - where there are places close by, well worth a visit.
Here are a couple. Cambridge! A park and ride bus runs into the City every ten minutes. The city is excellent for shopping, good restaurants, interesting sight seeing and even some punting.
Cranfield. Worth going to the snow dome -ski and snowboard fans. Real snow and just 10 minutes from the airport - by taxi I am afraid.
What other suggestions are there.
