Walking through Mark Ash Wood we came across evidence that someone had been practising their bushcraft skills. Perched on the mushroom covered hulk of a fallen Beech an incomplete basket woven out of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) stems; it may have been rough, that's just the nature of the material, but you could see how effective a container could be constructed on the hoof from such an abundant forest resource. Even in it's unfinished state, I was impressed; nice work.
