I arrived in Wareham Forest after a night of heavy rain, which had cleared into a very chilly early morning; by the time I got to Woolsbarrow, the trees and grass were being warmed by the sun and water evaporating; amazing. It was as if the whole forest were breathing out, giving a wonderful ambience.
