Descening off an OHJ, I would always aim to end up at circuit height overhead the upwind numbers - for exactly the same reason one joins crosswind
at circuit height and
overhead the numbers.
Otherwise, you risk a collision with departing traffic which might typically be at 300-500ft overhead the numbers, and at circuit height a mile or two further out.
You must fly extremely tight circuits then! Do you normally turn to fly crosswind at the upwind end of the runway?
Yes. It's very easy.
