Hi All,
Having just started the navigation aspect of training I’m excited about planning hour building trips in the future and I’m curious to hear everyone’s ideas and opinions on Interesting locations / flights whether it be Stornaway or northern France.
Fire at will!

While Stornoway, Benbecula and in fact all the Scottish Islands are beautiful the weather can be very changeable and long stretches over very empty water. I'd personally go North after a good bit of experience.
I did some flying in SEP's through France and down into Spain and to the Balearics. Some awesome fun but expensive and you need to plan locations carefully as especially into Spain you can pick up insane handling/landing fee's. Weather far more docile and plan it well plenty of nice locations to visit on the ground.

My other hobby is railways. I would like to see a steam train, from the air.
Flying from (Manchester) Barton, there are a reasonable number of preserved lines within easy reach.

Not too far from you but an interesting trip - come over to us at Ronaldsway. Very GA friendly, good facilities, smashing caff (Cafe 26) almost on the perimeter, and a lovely little Museum to boot!
And a steam train.
Ronaldsway Halt is a request stop on the Isle of Man Railway between Castletown and Ballasalla at Ronaldsway, near the Isle of Man Airport. Passengers wishing to board the train here can signal the driver to stop the train; to alight from the train the guard must be notified in advance https://www.gov.im/categories/travel...steam-railway/
You could try to spot the remains of the mainline steam locomotive visible on the island off SW Skye. Possibly flying all the hours to unfreeze your ATPL while doing so.
