Thanks for the replies. I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter exactly what you do.
I just wondered if that particular clearance is a bit if a contradiction of sorts ? If hold is cancelled then you are free to go straight back to XXX. Why not just say, 'next time over XXX fly heading zzz' ?
Can anyone provide a reference for the 'hold cancelled' phraseology ? CAP413 doesn't mention it.
Thanks
