I’m tempted to advise you stick to CAVOK

Reality is there is no “safe” options in the UK due to these reasons …

Rapid weather changes at anytime of the year

Small country with significant terrain anomalies even in the so called flat bits

Complex airspace in the south limiting route options

Thus do what we all started with - pick your day carefully. If you must have a hard limit make it at least 2000 feet above terrain. Turn round and land if conditions worsen and thus build confidence slowly.

Which area are you based in?
