Synopsis
As autumn ends, the mice of Brambly Hedge prepare to deliver blankets to the voles in the High Hills. Young Wilfred Toadflax, inspired by tales of adventure, joins the journey, hoping to find gold. However, when he climbs a steep rock face and becomes stranded, thick fog envelops the hills, leaving Wilfred and Mr Apple lost and unable to find their way home.
