Buying some woodland (22)

I've had my offer to buy some woodland accepted. I've been looking at various pieces of woodland since the autumn, but this has been the best of the bunch: 19 acres of broadleaf woodland on the southern end of the Cheshire plain between Manchester and Birmingham. The wood is very secluded - it's surrounded by streams and ditches on all sides, with a single access point - and includes a lot of young shrubby growth so it's also well screened.

I've always had a love of trees, going right back to my childhood and adolescence, but it was only last year that I discovered how easily you can buy woodland these days. Obviously there is a BDSM dimension to this (which explains my renewed interest in outdoor BDSM like pony play etc ) but I'm also very motivated by the land and trees themselves.

The buying process is very similar to that for houses, with searches, exchange of contracts, a completion date etc, but no chain and no building society that wants some remedial damp-proofing done

The picture shows one of the open glades in the wood. There's a lot of work to be done establishing tracks etc, and this is going to be a multi-year project. But I'm not frightened of that kind of committment, am I?

Great news. An other piece of unspoilt woodland saved.
It has been one of my long term plans to purchase and maintain a woodland much for the same reasons. Finding a suitable site has always been difficult and is remarkable you found one in so short a time.
Today's the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

It looks like a lovely site
Do you have any idea what kind of wildlife you have living there?

I've seen foxes, hares, woodcocks, a couple of pheasants, some vole-looking holes in the stream bank and there's at least one badger set on some adjacent land that's not included in the proposed sale. On the sapling-killers front, I've not seen any squirrels, but I've seen some footprints which look a bit deer-like.
There are also some patches of nettles and young woody growth that would make excellent switches...

Fabulous! I used to have my own little wood, with a stream when I lived in Devon and I loved it. It is so peaceful to be able to go and sit there.
A little log cabin there would be amazing.
I'm in my own world. It's Ok, they know me here.
