Ocknell

I set out to locate some Wartime graffiti said to be found in Ocknell Enclosure, which apparently reads 'Americans were here in 1944' or some such. I was given rough directs by an old chap who'd been told about the site but had been unable to find any trace himself. Unfortunately, although large quantities of graffiti of several periods were represented, I was also unsuccessful. As I make my way I can think of no other place in the forest which solicits the same feelings as Ocknell Enclosure; the woods feel different here from others, shadowy, saturated in an unspecified force or malaise.
