Tanks alot

Second World War tank tracks run from the direction of the A35 through and the skirting the edge of Brinken Wood; more evidence of the forest wartime occupation.  I often question whether my interpretation of forest tracks (left by vehicles) is accurate; vehicle will have been used throughout the forest since their introduction and are still used during forestry work.  The tracks I interpret as World War 2 vehicle tracks exhibit certain features which set them aside from tracks representing forest activities: Their size corresponds with tracks from the Studland training area, used from 1939 to 1945; these tracks have been confirmed from aeriel photographs from 1946. The nature of the tracks, their paths, distribution and grouping don't conform to observed forestry practices. Often you have one or two well used tracks of some depth representing the passage of several vehicles traveling in the same direction, then the tracks diverge forming several shallower tracks representing vehicles traveling forward in a line. The tracks are old exhibiting well established plant communities.  It would be nice to see wartime aeriel photos of the area for confirmation.
