I have been back to the woodland today, minus the Ranger, and had a proper look round. I think I may have been a bit hasty with my negative comments and feel much happier today.
I have found 2 or 3 areas suitable for hammocking, but some of the lower branches will need to be trimmed, and one great spot for tent camping which has been used in the past unofficially (it even has a small stone fire circle which looks like it hasn't been used in ages).
In addition I have seen sign of fox and badger today, and even managed to sit and have a boil in the bag and a coffee whilst watching some fallow deer. (photo below)
SWMBO will go mad because I now NEED some better binoculars and a telephoto lense for my camera!
