Skate nearby.

Big frost at home this morning got me up early to check a few spots near home. Drove up to Mahinerangi.  Surprisingly the temp got warmer as I neared the lake and was 8 deg where I thought I would skate.  Decided to have a look anyway and despite the temp and broken sheets of ice from the lowering lake level I had a great skate on smooth hard dry ice.  The ice was initially under stress and created huge cracks as I tested but settled down as was great skating.  Area was limited due to thickness but a fab time.  Not often I get to skate at Mahinerangi these days.
