Hi does anyone know where the best place in the world is for buiding
up flying hours for your log book, by either instructing or just
leisure flying. i know the uk is expencive and weather is a bit
unpredictable, ive herd america is much cheaper and better weather.
can anyone help, Cheers

I'll assume this isn't a silly troll and respond. For simply
acquiring hours generally the best route in the USA is to get your CFI
rating and instruct primary students. For the students' sake it helps
if you like teaching but it's not required. You claim PIC and the
student pays the airplane bill and a little more for you--perhaps
$20-$30 USD/hour depending on location and your experience.

If you don't want to get that rating and you simply want to fly on
your own dime, then buy a cheap plane (two seater like a C-152,
Ercoupe, or taildragger) and fly often and far. Want to claim IMC,
then get a little more plane with IFR capabilities and fly in weather.
Yes, fuel and probably the cost of living is cheaper in the USA,
especially with respect to Europe. The American Southwest (Arizona,
New Mexico) and California have very good flying weather much of the
year. Fly up a storm (not literally) and sell it when you've built
your hours.
