Visited four skating spots today as I headed home. First up was Poolburn to meet Jane and Inge at daybreak and to a fantastic sunrise. Very good frost but the skiff of snow the day before limited the formation of new ice. Ice was just enough for a skate - smooth but a bit slower due to the snow. Some smooth bits around the edges. Jane and Inge headed of to the Lower Manoburn and after I dragged myself away I stopped in at Idaburn. To late for a safe skate but had a fantastically cracking skate anyway. The ice was hard and smooth when I arrived but as soon as I touched it it started pinging and cracking as it gave up pressure. Fun but a bit unnerving. Next stop was Hoffmans Dam where I had a good skate but limited in area. Coalpit to finish where I had a great skate with Andrew. Very windy when I left and no frost in the forecast....
