Route advice

Hi guys, this is my first post here - please be gentle!
I’m about 27 hours into my PPL, based at Sherburn and a couple of hours into my navigation phase.
I’ve happily planned my last two routes, but am now a little short of confidence when planning who I will be contacting.
My route is as follows:
Sherburn
Ferrybridge
Huddersfield/Crosland Moor
Coal Aston
Sturgate
Goole
Selby
Sherburn

Now I know that for/between Coal Aston, Sturgate and Goole, it would make sense/be necessary at certain altitudes to be in contact with Doncaster for the zone transit etc., but who would you contact between Hudds and Coal Aston? My instinct is London Info, but maybe I’m missing something obvious like a LARS?
Between Ferrybridge and Hudds, would you climb and contact Leeds? Or stay at 2000ft with Linton or maybe London info?
i don’t feel I’m strictly wrong with my instincts here (please say if I am!), but would just be interested to draw on everyone’s experience and see if there’s something you’d sooner do in my position?

Thanks in advance!
