No, Jersey is easy. It's a pleasant place to visit.
You need to give 12hrs notice to Special Branch with the GAR form, and then just fly as per normal route planning (get the map out and plan it outside controlled airspace).
Significantly over-water flights should carry a life raft, IMHO.

For scenery, its hard to beat the spectacular North Cornwall coast ..... all way from Hartland Point ( Devon )...all the way down to Lands End . Excellent service from Newquay LARS and both Perranporth and the strip at Roserrow are must visits .

where to fly
Hi I fly to Jersey every other week and would be glad to chat over things with you. If you are fairly new as a PPL just be careful if the vis is poor it can be a sunny day but still really be IFR with no horizon to speak of. As one of the other guys said Cornwall is very nice, I visit Perrenporth at least one a year. PM me if you want a bit more info
