Ice was a bit limited and needed careful checking but was able to have a small skate and pull a few very careful turns!

Because I could...
Had a quick look at the dam on the way home to see how it had fared over night. It was in fast meltdown with warm winds eating into what was left but decided to put the skates on one more time...... because I could! 30th of Aug is the latest I can remember having skated on natural ice in NZ.

Methinks, you got the last skate of the year....and "yes" the 30th is late, your last report last year was 11th August....:-)
Ended up being not a bad a season, though in Canterbury limited......No Lake Evelyn and only one skate on the Red Lakes this year.
Now to think about getting the windsurfer ready.....:-)
Yep the ice sure was a bit unpredictable - but better than the beginning of the season suggested.
Yep to Windsurfing.... and kiting!
