Did anyone else do their test is 2 parts?

I had to due weather...managed to do the GH bit just about then the weather came down very quickly and suddenly the cloudbase had gone from 3000ft to 300ft in minutes. Had to do the nav another time...

Trick for the nav...I have an 8 minute thumb plan your route and then when you are halfway through the second leg, they will divert you, work out all possible diversions so you have a rough idea.

I was told that on the nav bit, you weren't allowed to do Radio Nav, but the examiner after letting me work out my diversion said 'why don't you just use the VOR?'

I passed 1st time for GHT and QXC (couldn't possibly get lost on QXC, took off climbed into the overhead and could see both destinations!) Map wasn't required!
