Leeds are very helpful. I think they are aware of the stress the airspace gives us and always very happy to offer a transit when asked. They also advised me that Warton wouldn't be there when I called.
Some of my flying friends have moaned about the landing fees being a bit on the expensive side, but let's not start that debate again!
Best advice I've had is from my other half. 'Don't fly into the big dipper' she said 'it will be on the telly'. She obviously didn't look at the chart!
