Delamere Forest ain't dense
Having lived in said forest the last thing I wood call it - is dense.
There are areas of man made cultivation (Evergreens) but the area known as The Forest encompases villages, lakes and a lot of pasture.
Admitedly it only take a clump of trees to spoil your day but were not talking about vast swathes of inpenetrable canopy.
On a number of flights out of a private strip in the area I never had a problem "picking a field" when challenged by the sadist sat on my right.
The issue of single engine at night is a wider one than just northwest Cheshire.
Anyway, every one you walk away from.............
