Bahn - based on your location, are you learning at Sandtoft? That is where my circuits were brought to life and I never really got to grips with the narrow strip. Doing it on a buffeting day, with the fences, hedges and street lamps to contend with wouldn't make me happy. YMMV
However the weather recently has been strong westerly so perhaps you are out of Humberside or Sheffield?
Sheffield on Saturday was fun with 25kts down the runway. I decided to practice a short field take off, it was the nearest to being a Harrier pilot that I'll ever get
