HIRTA

Whats the score on HIRTA's? I'm off up Whitby way on Monday and I can dogleg around Fylingdales 5nm radius HIRTA or go through it. (I'd like to fly up the NY Moors railway line.) All it says on the half mil note 3 is 'Aircraft should not remain for more than 1 minute within 1.5 nm radius of Fylingdales up to 8000 ft ALT'. You're not going to be in there for more than a minute anyway at cruising speed even if you fly right over the place. I know they can make GPS etc go titsup but I'll be visual with the coast. What's the consensus, OK to fly through (I might not even be in the 1.5 mile radius anyway) or dog leg it?
