Had a day off today so we thought we would go out and play on the frozen lake just up the road from our place , the ice was 6" thick and have a look at this soooooo much fun :driving:

That looks like fun. You were very trusting of the depth of that ice............

Agree - looks like a lot of fun! My neighbours went curling on a frozen loch at the weekend. I told them they were mad!

Jesus! That's pretty stupid... not quite sure how they were planning on getting off the canal either.

I do like the way the Sun uses the trusted arrow to illustrate what's going on, in case there is any confusion!

My Ford Puma was a nightmare..... I would have cheerfully dropped it through a frozen lake
