Climbing out of home base yesterday, turned on course then entered IMC at 1,000ft and got myself set up in a cruise climb .
Called up for and got a traffic service, continued the climb.
Popped out on top at 2,700ft, glanced at my GPS and realised that I was almost certainly still within the 2,500ft-limit part of the LTMA. Not by a great deal, half a mile or so.
Immediately levelled off and as I passed into the 3,500ft-limit area I fessed up to the controller about what I thought I'd done. He replied that he didn't think I'd clipped it and not to worry about it.
I'm pretty sure I infringed. Would it not have set alarms off everywhere if I had? Should I be following up with someone before they follow up with me?
