@FlyingCope. The LAPL has a reduced hours requirement, although the course content is, as far as I'm aware, the same. This means that, realistically, it would be very difficult to do the whole course in the 30 hours minimum requirement, and it's more likely going to be 40 or so. If this is the case, you'd be mad to not spend a further £600 ish on doing the further 5 hours and getting a full PPL, which you can add ratings to etc etc. Just my two pennies worth though.
Working from memory here but I believe the qualifying cross country requirement is different - just one away landing for LAPL beyond a certain distance.

Also after LAPL issue you have to do another 10 hours P1 before you can carry passengers.
