Curiosity got the better of me so I had a hover over some similar styled conifers, there was almost a hint of ground effect up there and even if there has been an engine failure (when was the last time anyone had one of those?) the trees would have cushioned the fall

I did have a 10kt headwind that might have helped a little, but I don't think there was anything more than a little fun to this and certainly no need to get all wound up about it!

Well done Tommy, having some fun and making good use of your heli - that's what they're for after all!
