So it was a new club, a new aircraft and your first land away since qualifying. Well perhaps try less than 3 new things at once. Maybe if you were flying a new aircraft at a new club, a local bimble would have be better. But, more importantly, don't worry. Far better to be a little under confident than over confident. Many new PPLs think they are immortal and end up in trouble. You will be fine. By the way, there are no old, bold pilots. I should know, I have been flying for over 50 years & I am still cautious. So it's ok to be less bold, you will make old bones.
