Dutch style: Hilversum - Texel - Lelystad - Hilversum
1200ft all the way, and hardly spoke to anyone 'cos I didn't have an RT licence.
I'd never realised just how hassle free it was until I read all the above posts! Controllers were all friendly, the weather was beautiful (amazingly for Holland!), there was hardly any traffic and lunch in the sun at Texel was great.
Not much of a preparation for real-world flying, but it was a totally pleasurable experience - actually flying somewhere on my own.
