If you want to purely fly for fun and do not intend to make a future career in flying then consider the 3 axis microlight route with Mainair. Excellent school , superb instructors and mix of Ikarus C42's and Eurostars.
Passed my NPPL(M) with Mainair in 2014 , and I would highly recommend them.
Todays 3 axis microlights are not much different in performance to regular GA aircraft , except its daylight only and VFR only.
Cheap and fun flying.....
If it's a career path then do the full blown PPL.
If you have the cash available already - just pay the school per hour as flown.
