Whilst walking through the woods George Cresswick tells Chris what it means to be 'King of the Wood', how he has known the woods for over 75 years and how he feels it a privilege to care for Hudnalls Wood and to ensure that it is enjoyed by the people to whom it belongs and not by those who would mistreat it, such as hippies.
