Good to hear of your progress Blinkz.
Gertrude - on the subject of 'unlicensed' runways - what does this actually mean?
Hopefully someone will post a link to an arcane CAA document as I haven't found the definitive statement as yet.
Why, for instance, would Tatenhill have 08/26 as licenced, yet 04/22 as unlicenced? If they are both usable then I would expect them to be maintained to usable standards so it shouldn't be a cost issue.
I asked this specific question before my solo QXC to Tatenhill - I was concerned that if the winds weren't suitable for 08/26 then I would want to be able to land on 04/22. However I was told that a student couldn't land on an unlicensed runway but nothing further by way of explaination.
And here's a couple of photos for familiarisation, showing R26 when climbing away on a left hand departure. The parked aircraft, tower and hangar can be easily spotted to orient you with your Pooley's chart.

I have both these in much higher resolution if anyone would be interested.
