I have only ever watched as a First Officer a Captain land at Madeira, but after that it made all my previous worrying fall into perspective trust me. Take a more experienced PPL with you from your club if you want to start stretching your skills a bit. And do it, bit by bit.

There will be plenty of helpful folk just lining up to pass on their knowledge etc, and share the experience

Compton Abbas because of its location and altitude above sea level(altimeter settings), Denham because of its location in Class A airspace(use of VOR's etc), Fenland(middle of nowhere), Cardiff for the bigger aerodrome experience with VRP entries(don't land at St Athan!!), Shoreham for a sometimes busy ATZ and maze of parking. All new skills and experiences.
