Correct me if im wrong here but isn't 100Ft QFE the standard circuit height for a licenced airfield, but if conducting an overhead join at an unlicenced airfield then this should be (in theory) conducted as an overhead join at 2000ft decending on deadside to QFE 1000ft then completing normal cicuit and approach.
Please, please don't try that where there are gliders: you might get your aircraft sawn in half.

Gliders go 0ft to >2000ft in 30s. Think of them as mobile, aggressive barrage balloons

See http://www.airproxboard.org.uk/defau...0&pageid=10289 for an example. This kind of thing happens all too often.
