My thumb is exactly 2.5 miles wide

At least on the  chart I use for this area. Apparently this fact will become vitally important when I start doing proper navigation. It would seem that aiming the plane for the big pointy thing* only works in a relatively small area of the country!

*(Even with this very obvious landmark, I still have difficulty seeing exactly where I’m meant to go. I know it sounds odd but everything looks really different from the air. I haven’t quite tried to land on the Leslie Street spit but I suspect it could have been close!)
