That seem like a very unusual route to get to Gloucester!
As I mentioned in a previous post, when I did my QXC 2 years ago:
EGBM - Overhead Halfpenny Green (EGBO)
EGBO - Gloucester (EGBJ)
Had a drink in the cafe, then:
EGBJ - Overhead Wellesbourne (EGBW)
EGBW - Leicester (EGBG)
Had lunch and stayed for about 1hr 30mins in total, then:
EGBG - LIC NDB (Although you could now use Lichfield VRP or Measham VRP)
LIC NDB - EGBM
When I fly down to Gloucester nowadays, I either go EGBM - EGBO - EGBJ or I ask Birmingham for a Zone Transit and fly direct via their overhead.
Happy Flighting!
