Adrian, first check the Notams for the route,Wx as well,decide on en-route/terminal diversions,Safety altitude(about 2500ft). If you are going via DTY,it`s about 070, then about 078 to NWI.Be aware of possible para stuff at Sibson and Chatteris.Wyton is only local club /Police/Hems,but call if nearby(you may not get an answer). Stay outside Mildenhall,as you won`t understand the `quickfire r/t` unless you drift into their airspace/emergency.You can call Marham,even if you are not passing thu` their zone, get a `handover` to Norwich as well,or call Norwich early(20 miles),(best if you`ve listened to their ATIS for R/Wy /wind ,QNH).If they are on 09, you can position for a straight-in,or if it`s 27,fly around the south of the City(VRP`s),or ask for radar vectors as you are unfamiliar with local area.There can be civil commercial traffic,and also NSea helicopter activity as well.Circuit is usually to North of airfield.
Yellow vest,licence ,passport/identification...Have a nice trip..

Beaten to it....
