Granted it is not a VRP as marked on the chart but it was visible way before Spitalgate when I flew it and I used it to skirt the stub of the MATZ.
The A1, again is not a VRP but it is a good identifying feature which offers reassurance to a student on solo QXC.
As to whether or not that constitutes good navigation, if flying VMC then surely it does. Navigating by reference to terrain and features alongside elapsed time is surely what it is about unless in IMC.
