G'day Andy,
Excluding the fields that have towers, from which you will get VRP (visual reporting points) and inbound sequencing - No issue.
Out of hours (uncontrolled), and the out of hours GAAP fields which have an MBZ (mandatory broadcast zone) you are best to arrive via the normal VRPs, but having said that, you should** tho not always recieve a respose from the "boys" currently playing in the circuit as to the runway in use, an overhead join will often take up a lot of time whilst you try and figure whats the melee of ultralights and 150's going on below is doing.
I usually just barrell in...................just kidding.
No real answer to this , sometimes on base, sometimes on downwind, but safest is on descending upwind(after overflying)..it all depends on the situation, if you call inbound to say goldbourn and some good soul has the kindness to respond, then you can work it out from there, although there are exceptions....
