I agree with the last two posts. When I had 50-200 hrs I often cancelled a booking based on the forecast. As often as not I would then sit at home watching a clear blue sky with hardly any wind as the forecast had been pessimistic.
I then learnt to keep bookings and to go to the airfield to see what the real conditions were like. I also found a couple of airfields that were at a significant angle to my home base. I could then use them for crosswind practice with the home base as an into wind 'get out of jail free' card.
This showed me that with practice and good technique it was easy to fly up to the specified xwind limit. This opened up many flying days that I would previously have cancelled.
I would encourage any low hours pilot to explore their xwind limits, xwinds really are not that difficult.
