Thanks for the replies guys.

Popped down today, all good. As it worked out being able to actually see it - descending to 1000' before Stanstead Zone brings you nicely to circuit height - although I chose to orbit before landing to be sure I got my 02/20 the right way round!

Runway was 02 with wind at 07 - so I think I'll be re-practicing my cross-wind landings next week!

The Squadron is nice cafe that does great food at a good price - so a nice lunch was had.

On the way back Farnborough weren't responding on 132.800, so I went with Essex Radar - who in turn transferred me to Heathrow, and they let me 'cut the corner off' and go through the TMZ over Burnham/Maidenhead etc.

So all in all pretty a good day! And I saved 0.3 of an hour thanks to the nice guys at Heathrow
