08 approach / 26 climbout also has some very extreme human factors implications (for those who don't know, Compton Abbas is on a high ridge with a deep valley to the west which falls away very sharply). For a low hours PPL to judge the approach / climb out is quite challenging due to the lack of ground reference.
I found the 26 approach bad enough ... on about 2 mile final I managed to 'identify' a white PA-28 doing power checks as the 26 numbers
so we had a slightly 'interesting' approach correcting for that
