You're quite correct, I was just bimbling. But even if I was heading somewhere in particular, I would probably have still done the same since, in my mind, that is still the most sensible frequency to keep a listening watch on and talk to other aircraft in the area.

I trained in the UK an flew thru Cottesmore quite a few times and I've experienced the scenario described above. Now I fly in Canada and am now used to Remote radio communications. In the UK, unmanned frequencies are rare and VFR air-air RT doesn't exist so when pilots find themselves in a situation where there's no one on the other side of the radio, they don't know what to do.
In Canada, they've got 126.7. You'll hear everything from Jetsto turboprops and spamcans. I've now learnt a new method of collision avoidance.
