At my last renewal I was taught the following by and ex RAF instructor. (Think I remember this right -it's easier to practice than write!!)

1. Trade height for speed until u hit 80kts;
2. Pick an into wind field behind the left wing;
3. Pick a point in the distance off the left wing tip and then turn and fly towards it-crosswind;RESTART CHECKS
4. When the field becomes visual behind the left wing again, repeat 3. again -downwind;MAYDAY
5. 4 again, -base;CRASH CHECKS
6. 4 again -finals; RADIO OFF.

Fun, and it works.

I think you just keep repeating it if you are too high.
