Oh, it wasn't that bad, it's just that when the instructor pulls the throttle you naturally start looking round for the best field, and I found myself looking for the best hole, it was a bit of a culture shock that's all. So, by the time I was actually looking for the best field I was 1500' or so lower down; hardly a big deal over East Anglia, but it meant I'd done all my restart checks before picking a field, not the way round I'd been used to doing it.
