Concur with the above. My first solo is still fresh in my mind but how it is remains a mystery to me because it seemed like the quickest circuit I've ever done. Remember AFIS saying "you can breathe now" after I had cleared the runway. Nothing to report really on this one but as Vectis Lady says wait til your QXC.
That is the one that really sticks in the memory, Cranfield on a very busy weekday and Gloustershire equally busy. The best bit, if I can call it that, was when calling Glos Approach they were on 04 so mind gets set up for the join and circuit. By the time I have contacted tower they have switched to 22! I got the right side of the runway for downwind but it needed a gentle "you seem to be heading the wrong way" from ATC to get me heading in the right direction. No harm was done fortunately (apart from a slight dent in the pride) because it was only a hint of a turn but they were clearly watching me. Great fun and a great experience.
Well done and here's to your next challenge.
