Buying some woodland

I've had my offer to buy some woodland accepted. I've been looking at various pieces of woodland since the autumn, but this one, Bridgewood, 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 going to try to document the whole process here as a I go along.
