Flying to the PFA Rally.

I was supposed to be flying to the Rally with someone else, but he can't make it now. I'm tempted to go by myself, flying in and out at what are (hopefully) non-peak times, ie go around midday one day, leave around the same time the next day. But how sensible/foolhardy is this? Some people have said you really need a second person to keep a good lookout? I've flown in once before, but that was by helicopter to Cranfield, and rotary traffic had completely separate and uncrowded routes. Could be very different from crowded f/w approaches at Kemble, which I don't know very well anyway. I've read the AIC and it looks straightforward, but it's the guys who don't follow the rules that I worry about!

Any advice from those who've done it before would be warmly welcomed.
