Warwickslade headwaters

 

Throughout our current dry spell the headwaters of Warwickslade Brook have remained lush and green. I'm certain there are spots dotted about the forest which must constitute Temperate Rainforest, or at least adjacent.

Dry as a bone

 

The face of the forest changes between the seasons. During the wet season the woods through which Warwickslade Cutting meander are impassable without wellies, and even then you can fall foul of a hollow. Currently though Warwickslade Cutting is bone dry. When this was a deeply cut dead straight forest drain Warwickslade Cutting was an appropriate name, not so now it's course is restored to natural meanders. Warwickslade Brook feels more appropriate.
