No reason other than I thought I would do some sight seeing along the solent shorelines and IOW Shorelines.. and for safety if engine did cut out.. I am able to glide to land between those areas..as a contingency.

Water Crossings dont trouble me but I was just being cautious thats all.

Still a bit of a crossing though from st Catherines to Cap De La Hague.

I am just lining up a tentative routing at this stage taking into consideration where theis VRPs are for Alderney. I can certainly go direct from Compton via the dog leg at Swanage.If the DAs arent active then straight down pretty much..
