Six random locations that are good to fly into, that I've enjoyed flying into in my first couple of years post PPL, great for the logbook and have some interesting sights either on site or close to are:-

- Duxford (you might land at the same time as a Spitfire)
- Goodwood (approaching over top of cars racing around the perimeter is amazing plus there is some great hardware on the parking)
- Blackpool (assuming it reopens at some point)
- Enstone (visit the Spitfore Squadron)
- Old Buckenham (for the heritage factor)
- When up to it and with the right conditions (it's short and challenging) Weybourne (North Norfolk). Great restaurants in the village a short walk from the strip

The first five are all easy to find in a flight guide, for Weybourne see Location of The Muckleburgh Military Collection Tank Museum and and Airstrip

One thing that ought to be high on a post PPL list is IR(R) (previously IMC). Never know when you'll need the skills

Safe flying
