That looks incredible!
I'd love to do it, but I'm stuck in Canada.
Really, I know I could finish if I could just . . .

I went to watch a while back (it's fairly local), they were busy breaking the ice on the lakes when we got there.

It looked horrible!

I did it in 2001 & that included ice braking. All i can say is wear 2 pair of rubber gloves with warm gloves in between them.

Enjoy.

This will be my third winter visit to the Killing Fields of Perton. I didn't do last year's, but the thing is like some crazy narcotic. The ice in '10 was interesting, but more cases of hypothermia in '09. 600 from memory, oh and a suspected broken neck.

I just don't get it. Loads of friends have done it and love it so maybe it's me. Maybe it's having been in the forces it all just seems a bit wannabe. Maybe it's the name and what the name seems to say about what you want people to think of you for entering.
