Congratulations!

It's easy after you get your PPL to take on too much at a time, so I used to have a rule: Do something new every flight, but ONE new thing only. So EITHER fly to a new airfield, OR take a passenger, or go through unfamiliar controlled airspace, or fly an unfamiliar route. Don't do them all at once, or if you get something else happen like poor weather, you can easily hit overload and struggle to cope. As to where to go, there are loads of nice airfields/ places within easy reach of Stapleford - and yes Shoreham is one of them.
