Wonderful woods but I agree with other comments about occasional intense harrassment by RAF helicopters at tree-top level who seem to be deliberately targetting women walking there. This is menacing, surely illegal and a waste of taxpayers money too. It is certainly not 'just a laugh'. Like the other woman who commented on this, I have also had to abandon a walk because I was so intimidated by repeated low level circling. Somebody needs to put in a formal complaint to the RAF and get this stopped.
