Ace,
If you're going round to the west you don't have to avoid Booker, they regularly allow people to transit through the overhead, just give them a call (Tower 126.55) as you pass Reading. Which ever route you take you've got to keep your eyes open for the gliders. If we're operating off 06/24 then the gliders will be operating on the south side of the field, and on the west side of the field if we're using 17/35.
