Checked out Poolburn this morning just to see if there was any ice left. Little frost as I drove up but -2 once I got there. Lots of water in the main bay and elsewhere. Very little ice left but after hunting around I found a (just) skate-able plate of ice in the far bay. The ice that was left had been covered with snow along with wind affected ice that had been blown together making it (just) strong enough. Ended up with an enjoyable but noisy skate (lots of cracking) and had to be careful to stay within a safe area.
Headed down to the Lower Manorburn and was surprised to see a good chunk of ice still in Rushcutters corner. Ice was wet but hard and great skating.
Great to be on the ice again but nothing feels like it will last....
