There are a fair few syndicates whose profile is like that. They often have lots of members; sometimes 20-30. Most of their members are people who just want to go up for a short flight. Most of them are also severely hard-up and that is all they can afford to do.

This is fair enough - different people have their boats floated in different ways - but I would not recommend a new pilot to limit his horizons to something like that.

However I fully accept that if say a Warrior is what you have, then anything beyond N France is hard work. I do a lot of long distance touring but have a plane which can do 1300nm (TB20) and that makes things much easier.
