I'm working on my IR and have a few questions about accepting a direct clearance while flying /u. Do I need to refuse the clearance if I'm on vectors, not on a published route and hear "cleared direct xyz VOR maintain 9000". Technically, if within the service volume of the VOR I can find out what radial of the VOR I'm on and track it inbound; I'm just not sure if it's legal to be off airway using only VORs for situational awareness and not receiving vectors.
This happened on an XC; I replied "N123 is /u," then requested and received vectors to the VOR.
Thanks in advance for the help.
