I was looking for some UK masonic advice, I was in UGLE for a few years but ended up moving over to another non-recognised Masonic order because I was not really sure on my direction at the time in masonry. My issue is I miss my old lodge at UGLE and my old brethren there, it is such a great lodge with fantastic people. My question is, if I was to apply to re-join UGLE, is there any policy that would stop me from doing that because of being in what UGLE sees as a non-recognised masonic order.

Being in Australia I cannot speak to the UGLE situation. When I joined a male GL from LDH, my previous initiation was not recognized and I went through the degrees again - which was fine with me.
There was an understanding that I was no longer a member of the mixed lodge and I was expected not to visit that lodge which I did not for another decade.
When I was first initiated in the LDH lodge there were more male craft present than LDH brethren!

I was initiated into a UGLE lodge, passed and raised, then after a few years went over to the other order, but I really miss my old UGLE lodge. I don't think I would have to go through the degrees again, I'd probably just have to confirm in some way that I will not venture back to the other order.

Your old Lodge will welcome you back. You can rejoin with no financial penalty and without having to retake the degrees.
Contact your old Lodge directly, not UGLE. The Secretary will probably write back to you within the week.
Welcome back!
