Bad advice above re Lakenheath and Mildenhall: they will NOT let you go through their ATZ only their wider MATZ.They will however give you an excellent radar service and keep you clear of the heavy metal. Contrary to popular opinion they do speak English.
And Duxford will not want you anywhere near their overhead either as they often have display practice on the go.
And also Duxford to Clacton direct takes you unnecessarily close (actually through now since last year's airspace changes)to Stansted's Zone.
Are you using any Navaids? The Clacton VOR is not on the airfiled.
Bury St Edmunds as a waypoint is a good idea as the British Sugar factory can be seen for miles.
Enjoy your trip: remember there is a public footpath with right of way right across the middle of Clacton's runway so keep a good lookout for pedestrians and dog walkers when you're on final............
Clacton's runway is fairly short (600mIIRC) so if you haven't planted it by the footpath, local wisdom is to go around and have another go.
