VP,
It's 18 months since I last did this route, but I still have my IFR plog with routes, frequencies, nav aids, etc. If you want it, you are welcome to it all, just drop me a PM.
My memory of this route is a bit faded, so if anyone else can correct my info, please do, but otherwise as I remember it:
The biggest "gotcha" on this route was the rway in use at EGNX changing during your planning / in-flight, (happened to me on my first IR test) and all the assosciated hassle of changing the plan & route. (Different NDB's, etc)
After leaving Cranfield it was straight to London for entry to the airways, a brief spell with Manchester, then EGNX. On the return, they are quite quick to get rid of you, but if I remember rightly you were within range of EGTC,and could go for a RIS (Don't forget it all changes after 12th of this month) before returning for a procedural approach.
I seem to remember they also kept me quite high quite late, so you need to think about your descent planning well in advance.
Good luck with it - of all the routes from EGTC when I did it, this had the double edged sword of giving you more time in the air to think & plan, but also get things a bit wrong!
