The M62 across Saddleworth Moor is already breathtakingly beautiful, in its sparse way. I realise those hills were forrested long ago but I’d be sad to lose the views from up there.

Otherwise, I love the idea of returning even just this small corridor to the forest it once was.

Interesting, though, to see The National Forest mentioned. It is odd to drive down the A38 and see the road signs welcoming you to the forest but no actual trees.




The M62 is a motorway. It is ugly.


Whatever you think of the motorway itself, once you're on it you get some pretty nice views from it up on the moors.


Yep, looks like they plan to plant trees in the Dales too WTF. I can't see *why& they're doing it. (I'm naturally suspicious of anything a Tory govt would do something which, on the surface, seems pretty cool.)
