David Patchett and I headed up to Coalpit dam in the Naseby forest for some ice skating. There was excellent ice coverage on one side (100 mm +) but the other half was either very thin or non-existent.

David Patchett and I went to Idaburn dam for some ice skating.

Idaburn dam with mountains in the backround. The shiny bit to the right is water. We skated on the bit to the left!
