Ever since understanding that the true key to the Fell Wood is having a character with good Wilderness Lore, I've never had any problem with it. Any ranger, barbarian, or druid can take WL as a class skill.
Heck, even a cleric can be pretty good at WL, since it's a WIS based skill. If you don't have a woodsey class, just have your cleric take one point of WL and his WIS bonus will kick in, and ... bingo ... instant, decent WL.
And I agree with Bozos of Bones, the Fell Wood doesn't take all that long, so long as you have a decent Wilderness Lore character.
