Go somewhere dry.

Hi CaptainTC,

Fact. Welshpool is in Wales and Wales is WET.

This is on account of being on the Western seaboard of the UK not far from the Irish Sea, over which the prevailing wind collects vast quantities of moisture, before dumping it on the first stretch of land it encounters, i.e. the Western Seaboard.

Anybody who doubts this can look at the climate graphs in any atlas and see that this is the case.

You will be much better off anywhere dryer. Go somewhere relatively dry and do your PPL full time.

There is not only the USA where you can do this. You can also go to Canada, South Africa or even France or Cyprus.

You don't even have to go abroard. Why not do it in Central Southern England where there is the best weather in the UK, for example at Old Sarum, Thruxton, Denham, or Elstree?
