After a few hard frosts at home I decided to look locally for any ice. Great to find a pond close to home that had new black ice thick enough for a safe skate. The frost had built up smooth hard ice giving fab skating - a great way to finish off the season.
After a few big frosts I decided to take a detour today on the way to a job. Checked out Poolburn but only new ice with water in a lot of places and too thin to skate. There was a chunk of ice in Rushcutters with thin new ice else where. Despite the debris on the ice I decided to skate and had fun once I worked out the best places to skate. I think this will be it for the year.
