Better IMHO than pressing on and becoming more and more unsure in a less and less temporary way of one's position... Ann Welch's method sounds brilliant and typical of everything of hers I've read - simple and sound.
I had a similar method for finding an airfield I had been told was hard to find, except it was blindingly obvious when I got there as it was the only bit of green in a sea of ripe grain & stubble. Had it been May the surrounding fields would have been green and it would have been a lot, lot harder. Since I was flying a glider I would have had to go back to staying up if I'd not found it so easily. Made sure to arrive with plenty of height in hand...
