Agree totally with Julian.
I always go over with these great plans to fly millions of miles, but normally end up in the pub all day

[it must be the crowd I hang out with, last time I have vague memories of a rock band, lots of beer and a Magnum 44 at about 4am...didn't do next days flying much good

]
Never had a restriction on distance either [apart from the pub]
