My Woodland Wardrobe...
It's almost impossible to imagine a landscape, an ancient landscape where England was once covered in seemingly impenetrable forest, with no PRIVATE signs and for company have the likes of Boar, Bison and Wolves.
These once deeply magical places gradually deforested, roads slowly carving them apart, with fields & hedges replacing ancient bogs & forests.
Its of course important not to get all teary eyed about it (like I'm doing now), as without human ingenuity and survival instict, I wouldn't be typing this sort of message out on a smartphone. Nature (life) changes, its chaotic and when needed, it will reclaim itself.
There are though, still teenie we**ie pockets of woodland that give you glimpses into that ancient and in my opinion wonderful past. These are still worth exploring and in my next video I'll show you what kit I like to use, when I'm out trampling through the woods.
