Reading FFF's words has reminded me just how tricky (and sometimes bloody pointless) some of CPL actually was.
The IR in comparison is a doodle. No lookout to bother with (except a quick visual circuit at the end), no silly cross fixing of radials (just tracking from one beacon to the next), and best of all, if your passenger does ask you to divert for an inpromptu photo shoot, you can tell him to piss off, because that's not in your flight plan
