On the first anniversary of my first solo I celebrated by re-flying the route of my first NFT and not getting lost!

My first NFT was a disaster and if you're going to get lost, the NFT isn't a good time to do it. At one point ATC, presumably guessing (correctly) that I was lost, asked me for a position report. The conversation went:

East Midlands Radar: G-XXXX report your position.

Me: Err, G-XXXX is temporarily unsure of position, believed to be somewhere to the South of Swadlincote.

EM Radar: G-XXXX squawk 4551

My examiner then replied: G-XXXX doesn't need any help. He has an instructor on board.

EM Radar: I'm very relieved.

I don't celebrate the date anymore though.
