Went out for a walk today as we still have a bit much snow for riding. Was taking some pics by the river when a dog, then a man, appeared on the ice – you can see him right in the top left of the corner.
It was thick enough for snow to lie on, but a bit broken up by the bank and where trees were dipping into the water but would you risk it? He's sort of behind the trees and the dog is in front of the trees.
Then he walks right up to the edge of the weir. He did go closer to the edge, sort of stamping on the ice to see how thick it was. Even the dog had more sense than to go right up to the weir. Fortunately he didn't go through the ice (or not that we saw).
A bit further on, I was taking a pic of the shopping trolley and what should I see right in the back left hand corner of the picture?
There's been nothing on the news so I guess he got away with it but seriously, you must be a bit mental to go on the ice over deep water after all the reports of people and going through ice recently.
