and you can go abroad
and you can go into EU land with it as well - stil daytime VFR of course in a g-reg.
I got confirmation from DGAC in France but that was only to satisfy the owner of the aircraft that it would not be stranded pilotless.
In fact I believe you can go anywhere a g-reg aircraft can go with a UK licence you just can't go at anytime it is night or IMC.
