I use the met office site for the winds, 'go flying' website to calculate the headings, and then complete a flight plan sheet.

As back up I have a Pilot 3 black and white GPS.

If the weather changes and I decide to go elsewhere my whizz wheel is always in my flight bag. For diversions I use the GPS and some mental arithmetic to adjust for cross winds.
