well yes, if you dont/cant complete it <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
Seriously, I witnessed a rather unfortunate end to some hapless student's x-country second leg many years back. He was from Liverpool, not sure where he'd landed first, but he was supposed to land at Barton next. He didnt touch down till 2/3rds down rwy 27 and ended up in the hedge of the western boundary. So he completed his x-country by bus, one presumes, thereby failing to get the requisite signature for landing back at Liverpool. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
But, dont let that put you off. And whatever happens, it will be a learning experience (e.g. if you have to turn back because of weather or whatever.
If it's the same as when I did mine, at each place you stop at, you get the ATC dignatory's autograph to say you landed and displayed appropriate airmanship. Due allowance tends to be given for the fact that you're a student away from home alone for the first time.
Your instructor will have the experience and judgement to know that you can cope, so please don't worry unnecessarily. Just choose places with nice long runways <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
