So...what about Class G below 3,000 feet and not on a published approach? I'm still puzzled.
As long as you fly under IFR you can do that as well.
IFRs Outside CAS:
Unless taking off, or landing, maintain at least 1,000' above any obstacle within 5nm.
If above Transition Altitude, (Generally 3,000' outside CAS in UK) fly Flight Levels in accordance with Quadrantal (Soon to be done away with) or Semi Circular rules.

Ps. Don't be grumpy, BEagle. Unlike us, some people have a life outside aviation!
