About 16 hours, I think. I didn't really want to do it, as I had to be at another airport soon after my lesson to collect my mum, so it was all a bit rushed. We came back later in the day for the 'Handing over the Certificate' Photo.
I think I was more nervous on my first solo cross country. It wasn't through fear of getting lost, after all, its difficult to lose two the huge reservoirs which were my turning points, but just being alone and having to do everything for mtself. It was a great feeling of success afterwards though.
