This decision was partly based on the fact that I HAD to be at my destination this weekend. I couldn't risk needing to divert and, moreover, spotted the potential to find myself attempting to battle on where I should really be looking to land somewhere.
Pen,
For me, this seals your decision, as 100% correct.
If you absolutely must be there, you have no business flying in less than ideal conditons. You could see the danger, see where it was headed, and took the opportunity to break the chain of events. Correct decision as far as I'm concerned.
