CGT on shares: Is this plan ok?

in Cutting tax
I wish to avoid paying CGT on share gains where legally possible.
I'm maxed on 2010/11 ISA already, but have some gains on unsheltered shares.
Once I've calculated what my potential gains are for 2010/I1 I plan to cristallise gains less carried forward losses (if I get the claim in in time) to use the max allowance, avoid carrying gains forward to next tax year by selling £10680 worth of the unsheltered shares on April 5th (this tax year) and buying them back April 6/7th inside my ISA- thereby sheltering the gain portion of the £10680.
Is this ok?
Does this avoid the 30day rule?
I have looked on HMRC but cant find owt on it.
Help much appreciated.

there's no 30 day rule if you sell unsheltered shares and then buy them back in your ISA0
