Geoff:
You  need to remember that this "Forest" uses the word in the alternative 
sense of a royal hunting ground and is not a densely wooded area but has 
quite a lot of open country as well. So they presumably knew which parts 
of the area they needed to Apparate to if they were seeking shelter.

The same is true of the New Forest in the southern coastal county of 
Hampshire and Exmoor Forest, close to my home which has very little in 
the way of wooded areas at all which is a little confusing, nicht war?
