A walk around Wareham Forest is always enjoyable particularly on a bright sunny day even if there is a cool wind blowing. The tracks here provide easy walking even after a lot of rain though we did have to tread carefully in a few places.
It is clear from the map below where we were brought to a standstill and had to turn back. We can partly blame this on an old barely readable map!
The scenery changes from fairly dense pine forest in some places to waterlogged areas where trees find survival a real problem. The strong wind made some of the wet area look as if waves were building up on large lakes.
This was quite a longish walk for someone with bad knees approaching their 79th birthday but there’s no stopping some people. It was however a relief to reach the Lambs Green Inn and be able to sit down two nice pies - chicken and mushroom pie followed by apple pie and custard.
