Query on eastbound departures from Weston

Hi All,

I've read all the comments with interest because we were planning to fly into Weston from the UK last Friday for the Bank holiday weekend. This was to meet some friends. WHen I checked the Notams I found that special airspace 25 Nm in diameter had been put in place for an EU summit (guess I should have read the papers!) so I phoned up Dublin ATC for some guidance. My original plan was to route through the Dublin zone straight to Weston, but after reading the Notam I wasn't sure of the best approach. I have to say that the Manager of the Dublin ATC was very helpful indeed and I'm most grateful for him spending so much of his valuable time with me. I've never flown outside of the UK yet so am a bit green at this.

Anyhow, due to awful weather we never even got off the ground, but I was interested to read a comment about eastbound departures from Weston, because the plan is to try the trip in a couple of weeks or so. Can anyone give me some advice?
