How high do you fly

Just an Idle interest, Myself i usually fly with the tail sticking in controlled airspace... if C starts at 2500 i am at 2499. I do a lot of coastal flying where all southerly traffic sticks seaward so i like to have a good gliding margin to land.. that probably effects my decision alot.

however i do see chaps scudding along at 1000ft going in the same direction..

I know from some experience the UK airspace is a lot lower in places than say NZ so theres not always the choice.

So its marmite question i guess.... up high for the view and safety, down in the weeds for fun?

whats your preference?
