Breighton yesterday (Sunday) despite sunshine and good vis and approaching from the South, with the sun behind me. Didn't see it until less than 1 mile away.

Overhead joins are discouraged because of aerobatics, so the last two miles or so was at 1000 feet aal, which didn't make it easy, plus looking out for the aerobating aircraft.

However, the variety of aircraft on the ground and in the hangars made it all worth while.

Agree with Keef about Little Gransden. I know the area well, but still find Little Gransden is very difficult -- here you have to look out for the gliders, rather than aerobats.
