Rusty - I think that if it's not "Ex. 12 & 13" or "circuits" then it's cross country by implication.
A confusing issue is what happens if you do a touch and go or three after a cross country - never did find out what the time counts as in that case (is it all cross country? some of it? And what do you write in the logbook?). Almost never matters, but it did for my PPL application. Five of your minimum 10 hours P1 must be cross country, but I never had any problems with nav and skipped a couple of 'easy' (i.e. cannot get lost) solo navexs. In the end I only did three solo trips, one of which was my QXC, and they only added up to about 4.5 hours. However, I also had a quick solo to the local area and back for a rejoin which included a couple of flapless touch and gos at the end - 0.6 hours solo in total. Nobody could figure out if that gave me 5.1 hours cross country or not, so as it was a sunny day I took the easy way out and headed off for half an hour solo...
