If I could just make it clear I was a mile outside the area, not a mile away from the airfield. I often make the turn in at Mablethorpe and fly between Strubby and Manby glider fields because there is gas venting to 3,600 at Theddlethorpe gas terminal about a mile north of Mab and then that runs straight into Donna Nook danger area, so it's not that I like getting close to glider fields, it's just that the airspace around there is a bit clogged up. I know the area very well and had my GPS which I downloaded the log off and had a look just to check so I know exactly where I was.

It's not a big deal, I was just a little bemused that I had apparently infringed a Notamed area and wondered what the score was. As I said earlier perhaps she may have thought I didn't know about Strubby and just got her terminology wrong, and also as the above poster said maybe a mile doesn't look much on the screen. It was a basic service by the way.
