In which I walk through an old wood of twisted trees: Bushy Bratley and Bratley Wood in the New Forest

In which I walk through an old wood of twisted trees: Bushy Bratley and Bratley Wood in the New Forest
In which I walk along the wide expanse of Ridley Plain and find twisty trees in Berry Beeches in the New Forest
In which I walk in the footsteps of New Forest smugglers, find some Water-crowfoot, and admire the pollarded Beeches of Ridley Wood
In which I wish I were in Anses Wood again
In which I find a mystical Beech grove and a musician's grave on a walk among spirit song
In which I get lost in bracken, but discover a magical, ancient wood in the New Forest
In which I enjoy the first properly sunny day for ages, and go for a walk round lovely Godshill Wood in the New Forest.
