Gold watch PPL
It took me ages due to running out of money, personal setbacks and weather. I am not even gonna tell how many hours!
But my instructor(s) pointed out that every hour was a "good hour" in terms of general experience. It was also pointed out that the 3 week wonders sometimes used the same runway for the whole 3 weeks, if the weather was stable. In other words, a 3 week PPL really needs to quickly widen his/her experience.
