I'm glad to hear that but now feel really sorry for the poor lad as his route does not appear to fulfil the requirements for a JAA PPL QXC which has to be a MINIMUM of 150nm. According to his plog he has only flown 146nm - so near yet so far.
Ah, but since he actually started his flight from his home base at Cranfield (see top of plog, CFD to CFD) using Olney as a VRP on which to start and end, the total distance flown from Cranfield and back puts it within his target of 150 nm.

When I leave Humberside I always use Brigg or Caistor VRPs as my start points to allow for climbout and levelling off, I would imagine he has done the same.

Sorry BEagle and Wombat, you beat me to it whilst I was typing.
