As a low hours pilot, not very!

I nearly wet myself arefter taking off later in the afternoon on a 'brewing' day (weather closing in from the SE and the NW full of CB)
The low sun created a haze layer which totally obliterated all downward vision directly forward, i could not see the airfeild or the surrounding hills and could not judge if i was inside or outside NZWB airspace, and i was very early solo.

Never Again.
