Water is beginning to settle in the forest, the ground has noticeably softened, to the point where every footfall is now accompanied by a splash. Amongst the wetter lower lying stands every ditch and hollow has become a watery obstacle, there come times in the forest when your boots never properly dry, now is shaping up to be one of those times. Throughout the forest the tiny tributaries and smaller water courses are coming into their own, the landscape is changed. For much of the year you can easily step over Warwickslade Cutting (a former straight drain restored to its former meandering course, here running through Camel Green), though the recent rains have brought about a transformation, its become a proper stream and will probably stay like this until spring. This is a lovely spot and one we'll return to as autumn continues towards it's colourful crescendo, the reflection of autumn's tints in the puddled terrain are beautiful.
