On a similar solo cross-country, in a no-electrics DH82 Jackeroo, despite my careful planning, a huge CB over Wimbledon produced unpredicted wind, and I got lost. I learned to mistrust nav calculations, but to trust railways, which I followed back to Thruxton, after probably infringing Farnborough and Lynham. 1964. Cruising at 65?mph means wind has a big effect on the track..
The CFI alleged my PPL might come with a restriction: "Not valid after Dr Beeching cuts completed"
