Firstly, congratulations on passing!

Yes, I would certainly recommend teaming up with one or two others to go for a couple of flights around your local area. If you can arrange these to include a variety of airspace, airfield types, etc, so much the better.

You will probably find there are several people at your local club who would be only too willing to team up as the problems of running out of passengers who can go on trips affects many PPLs.

You may be able to get in touch with some people by asking the instructors at your club or putting a notice on their info board. If you specify which club it is, you may even find there are members who read this forum who will be happy to oblige...

If not, then book slots with an instructor until you feel more confident. Ask them to point out the tricks of spotting local landmarks and various ways of approaching your airfield, etc.
