Autorotation in hilly terrain

Interesting flight around the lake district and mid-wales recently, as I was looking down, (from a safe height!) it became clear that whatever my height, the options at the end of an auto were less than appealing at certain times when transitioning over hills or valleys. Lots of steep bits valley floor looked a mess.

There isn't always an obvious safe haven down there, and it would have been nice to have a few pointers about where/how to manage an unfortunately timed engine failure.

Any useful hints or tips from people regularly around such areas about making the best of such terrain during an auto?
