Runway 07?
The only one I know round here is Old Buckenham,where the standard of training is very high.
But there may be others of course.
I use long finals quite often,I listen to traffic and request long final,sometimes you may have to hang around for a short time but if you are in position it beats a really long circuit as exists at some placed due to noise control etc.

Experienced yachties get pi**ed off with knowalls,daredevils and bulls**ters just the same as in aviation.
What is amazing is you can buy an £x million motor boat that does 30 knots and drive off without a licence,sometimes drunk.
I think the last bit is now being looked at by HM Gov.
Have fun!
