Viz was >5km..

Speed was 120kt

Clear of all cloud and in sight of the surface... through patches of blue holes and seeing through the cloud separation.

As a New PPL just wondered if this something which is common that aviators would do?

It just occurred to me at the time of flying that 'What if we were to fly on top of the clouds?".

Just don't want to make a habit of it if it is not 'normal'... - but my instructor did often use the term 'character building' iif you are able to fly and assess situations and make a command decision.
