I agree with the opinion that cost is a major factor why I and I presume other PPL's don't venture far.
I must admit that I sometimes wonder why I spend £100 just to potter about over the Brecon Beacons for the umpteenth time, but then I realise it is because I CAN.
I try to do at least one landaway a month to keep my interest up and fill the rest of my flying 'allowance' with a quick tootle around the local area or a few circuits if the weather is dodgy.
This suits me fine, of course I would love to do a 3 hour cross country and travel further afield but I doubt if Mrs 28th would be happy if I spent £300 on a days flying.
ho hum......
and I didn't win the lottery
my private airfield will have to wait until next week.
