I was referring to the extra cost of doing a second skill test, which would include the aircraft hire at around £600, the cost of the test around £250, medical application to the CAA, time taken to travel and actually take the test plus all the extra stress and hassle of doing 2 tests for the same thing.
Personally I see the LAPL as a pointless exercise and only suitable for people who can't get a medical for PPL(A). The cynical part of me sees it as way of pigeon holing private pilots........
