I screwed up on the final leg of my QXC. My full route was Elstree-Coventry, Coventry-Cambridge, Cambridge-Elstree.
The final leg took me south between Luton and Stansted. I was looking out for Buntingford, but managed to completely miss it (I still don't know how). Because of this I had a minor panic and thought, rather than bust either Luton's or Stansted's airspace, the best solution was to call 121.5 and say I was unsure of position. Within about half a second some very helpful person told me exactly where I was and gave me a heading to follow that kept me out of CAS. Once I recognised where I was, I thanked them and made my way to Elstree a bit embarrassed, but also pleased with myself for not being a bloke about it, and actually admitting I was lost.
