The most dangerous part on this trip will be joining the circuit at Stapleford, if arriving on a Sunday afternoon.
Hehe, that's where I did my NPPL,ME&IMC in 1990 and some 4~5 years of private flying later on so I'm somewhat familiar with the field.
BRL you spoil me, I may afterall make the Stapleford-Bomo a VFR and stopover to see my Shoreham based friends
I'll reminiss all these first flying training experiences I had over Kent & Sussex
I'll let you know eventually what the final route will be.
I plan to arrive in the weekend of 20~22 April. It all depends on weather.
It may be earlier than this but not later.
