A track goes nowhere as the forest has been blown down here. Clearing up this sort of mess is difficult and dangerous work - cut a trunk and things can spring up and get you, or the rootplates fall back. Either side of New Year 2012 a series of storms blew down 5,000,000 trees in Forestry Commission woodlands.
