"Can you hang out the side of a helicopter today?" asked Moors For The Future.

Absolutely we can.  Over the past decade MFTF have been planting and restoring the peaty sponge of the South Pennines.  Moors for the Future have been working to reverse more than 200 years of damage that left large areas of these uplands bare of vegetation.  Today we went up in a McDonnel Douglas 500 to get some aerial footage of the green revolution.  Carney has filmed with Captain Andrew before and is well used to his high G banking turns with wild laughter ringing out of the doorless chopper.
