Creaking start...

Checked out Poolburn this morning.  Not a lot of ice and surprisingly warm for a frosty morning.  Thin ice in a few places but plenty of water showing.  Managed to get the skates on for a bit of a creaky skate in a sheltered area but not with any real freedom.  Still a great place to visit anytime.
Idaburn had a bit of thin ice as did Coalpit - but mostly water.  Many of the trees have been felled around Coalpit and the area looks quite different.
