The advice given by Backpacker above is spot on!

CAP413 provides the correct format for ALL RTF calls [the standard information in the standard order]. Prefixing your call 'student' alerts ATC to your inexperience and enables them to issue simple instructions in a digestible manner!

As suggested above, a telephone call to ATC is very useful and will enable them to specify any particular routeing as well as forewarning you about likely joining instructions.

When you reach HUY and if possible, why not visit ATC? It will be a worthwhile part of your flying education.
