@FenSkaters That's the important part - enjoying the ice!

@NeilFeatherst10 Neil everyone i spoke to enjoyed it today but at welney the frosted up trees are starting to drip forecast just above freezing tonight so it may not hold up tomorrow at upware

Misty start to Sunday morning 12th Jan at Upware - then it suddenly lifted. Skateable but not as good as yesterday - some holes apparent. Quick skate only due other commitments. @FenSkaters

Skating in the Cambridgeshire Fens this weekend. @FenSkaters

@tsubject @FenSkaters Can't vouch for the ice conditions now - few cracks / holes appearing when I left around 10am. Hopefully good again tomorrow am.

@NeilFeatherst10 @FenSkaters Neil, have you got a location or postcode in Upware? We’re heading across.

Fen skating at Upware Saturday January 11th 2025 @FenSkaters . Everyone having a great time.

Fens looking beautiful this morning - Upware potentially interesting for tomorrow if sufficiently cold today and another freezing night 🥶@fenskaters

Making it a family affair today and getting the children onto the ice (their second time '23 & '24) - Upware Saturday 20th January @FenSkaters

@FenSkaters 18th Jan 2024 - post clinic skate at Upware. Couple of holes in the ice noted and avoided. Hopefully good for those free to skate tomorrow (not me 😞)

one of our guys did 10 miles on ice at upware today on the cards there will be skating tomorrow

@PeckTristan @FenSkaters Safety paramount - I stick to known fen skating locations and always assess the conditions before venturing onto the ice.

@PeckTristan @FenSkaters Ah the million dollar question! Both an art and a science to this. Obviously looking for the thinnest and most pristine black ice - nice and smooth with laser like sounds (when walked upon). Factors like weight and environmental temperatures to be considered...

Not thick enough to skate yet

@FenSkaters - Upware Saturday - remains too thin for skating here - now just over 2cm thickness.

@FenSkaters Sunday 22nd January 2023 - Upware - end of the day with a single family on the ice
