When I called one local school asking whether I could study intensively, the receptionist sounded very doubtful and told me she had 'never heard' of anybody doing a PPL in less than 6 months.
Load of bottom. I know of one guy who did his in three weeks in 2010. In Wales. In November. I managed to fly 16 hours in one week which is more than a third of the minimum hours when I was doing mine, I would imagine two months is very doable given a bit of luck with the weather.
It's not the flying you have to keep on top of as much if you want to do it in short order, it's the exams, don't forget there are six of them plus your radio practical.
I think either consciously or unconsciously the idea that flying is difficult seems to sit in a lot of people's minds. It isn't. It's very unforgiving of mistakes but if you have an average amount of nounce and are quick mentally then it's not a big deal. Of course there are plenty of people around who will try and convince you otherwise...
