Yep, and that's what I do. VFR all the way.

But where is the challenge there? :-)


well for us non instrument trained pilots there is a sudden effect to
our entering cloud.
This is known as the 'graveyard spiral' and doesn't do a ****load of
good for pilot, pax or airframe


Besides, who wants to fly if you can't see anything. Sounds like an
absolutely horrible waste of time to me.

Some of us actually like to use our brain. Flying in IMC is a great
exercise of the brain. Also, 3 hours in the clouds in an airplane beats
8 hours in a car in the rain any day! :-)
