Not necessary. The airfields can be right next to each other provided that the total distance flown (e.g. via intermediate waypoints) is at least 300nm.
I'm not suggesting this is a requirement - merely a suggestion. Yes you could do a flight from one airfield to a nearby one taking a circuitous route but should the CAA decide to look into it they MAY not be happy to accept this without further evidence. If you keep your plog you could argue the case with them but is it really worth it?

Besides surely part of the point of the qxc is to get you slightly out of your comfort zone??
