I guess it was an 'interesting trip' from Sleap?
I should confess at this point that despite visiting the facilities before departing Sleap, I quickly became aware that I would need to land to answer the call of nature very soon. I should really have abandoned the plan to go to Sleap at all and simply diverted home - or to Staverton - but I pressed on VFR in order to get to a loo quicker. Yes, VFR scud-running at 1500ft with the Long Mynd at 1693ft wasn't clever, and in fact has simply strengthened my resolve, as bookworm says, to get above MSA first and worry about the radar service second.
