Starting out of Gloucestershire (EGBJ), you follow instructions
as accurately as possible. "Turn left, turn left again, turn
right" - the instructor barks his commands every few seconds.
If you have obeyed his instructions accurately, you will end
up back where you started at EGBJ. There's a competition for
the member who flies the sortie in the least time without missing
a turn.

To fly the route, members "simply" had to keep out of "Danger" (areas D132, D133 and D133A to be precise), as well as Heathrow's Class D Airspace.
