Even at current exchange rates you can get a brand new DA40 (180) with G1000 for £66 per hour dry....so the USA is still cheapest by far for better equipment. $44 will buy you a hotel room, and £340 a flight (California).
2x 2hr lessons per day (3hr flying realistically) is perfectly feasable especially when moving onto the solo phase - 1 session with instructor, 1 solo for example.
