Flying today

At the moment I think I may be restricted to the circuit only, it might even give me a chance to do some solo circuits. But it looks like it might get a little better, I'm not flying till 1400.

Found the perfect answer

In Ireland, VFR FL is up to FL195
Between FL195 and FL290 permission is required (not always granted)
Above FL290 VFR permission will not be granted

Could possibly be the same for Europe
