I did my first XC solo to Lydd (fm SND) and my major criticism is that the runway, at the time, was far too low necessitating a go around at 300' (Radio transmission at end of Stuka style dive towards threshold):
Me: G-XXXX going around
Lydd Radio: Thought you might.

Did my QXC to Lydd (and Shoreham) in May - noticed they had sorted out the runway height but also installed a "cloak of invisibility" device. Finally located the airfield by flying over it twice.

As said before - A good route & an informal airfield with a cafe & bogs - what could be finer ?
