I missed the 1987 storm as I lived up north (ok, the Middlelands) – there are still scars of visibly new growth around here though (ironically, the wind bringing trees down increases diversity, unless they put a housing estate on top).
We went for a hike at the weekend, a fair number of trees down, but nothing excessive. Some scrambling and clambering required on a few footpaths, and a majestic old tree down near Penshurst, must be annoying to send 250 years or so growing and then get blown over.
