Exercise Joint Warrior = Large area Notam for today 4th October

I am planning a flight for 04/10/12 in a PA28. My attention is being drawn to several NOTAMs from SFC-FL550 regarding Exercise Joint Warrior. The area covers just about most of Scotland and NE England between the hours of 1100Z and 1400Z.

The most concerning part is:
NON PARTICIPATING AIRCREW ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO REMAIN CLEAR OF AREA.
The route is Dundee-Cumbernauld via Stirling departing around 1130Z. A large part of the area seems to be around the Central MDA danger area east of Scotland in the North Sea.

As I understand there are no temporary controlled airspace/danger areas set up - all this is taking part in uncontrolled airspace - but how wise would it be to go flying given the strong advice to avoid the area? I've never come across this before and I am undecided whether to fly or not. Any help or advice from anyone with experience would be greatly appreciated!
