Hmm ... memories of a Sycamore 'up-country' Aden, landing in a wadi , a couple of thousand above sea level. M/P 'Tommy' Tomczak driving. Leaving the ground entailed a 'jump' take-off - max rrpm and quick collective and then 'sit' drifting inch by inch along the slightly descending wadi until there was just enough clearance to transition. A touch of the 'sixpence/half crowns' !
