Which would have been fine, except that the METAR later showed 080850Z 20006KT 9999 BKN013 20/17 Q1017 BECMG BKN018 and then 080950Z 21010G21KT 9999 BKN012 20/17 Q1017 BECMG BKN018.
There was no indication of such a low cloudbase on the TAF and I wouldn't particularly wish to fly under VFR in those circumstances - so would have climbed to VMC on top, followed the GPS track and asked for a SRA to visual on arrival
That is a VFR METAR, great viz and easy under VFR. I would be quite happy mooching around in the Auster in those conditions. There is nothing in that METAR that would have me needing an IMC rating.
