To be legal as a cross country you have to land at an airport more than
50 miles away.


No, you just have to land at an airport other than the one you departed
from. The 50 nm requirement is for the cross country to count towards
certain certificates and ratings.

We're talking about the 50 mile requirement for a cross country. That
was his specific question. He needs to build time. Now, you want to
fly one mile to another airport and log it as cross country that's fine.
But it's irrelavant to the question that was asked.
