IF you are at home field...look around for landing spots...note them...make a map, share the info with others who may have info to share with you.,
note places off straight ahead in case you do turn back and then can't make it. not advocating either choice.
When I first learned to fly, I looked into 3 airfields to train (back in 1975). One had a really good looking girl working the desk...great ham standards...another was cheaper and slightly closer, but the one I chose had a nice golf course nearby where a forced landing would be pretty survivable (FORE).
think...imagination is the key to safe flying
