I went ice skating here. And it was very nice, as i hadn't done any ice skating for some years.
I went onto the ice and some people saw me and asked me if I was going to try the ice. And they started saying things like "good luck!" , "if you fall through the ice just yell because we are going to walk here!" and "very brave of you!". But I didn't really think it was that dangerous so i just smiled at them xD.
When I got there by bike there was only 1 person on the ice who I only found after I had already gone onto the ice and skated along the edge where I saw that person very close to the edge somewhere further down towards the north-western side of the pond.
After a while a few more people came on the ice, but it was never more than 10 I think. Anyway.. I did some skating, made a few laps, crossed the middle of the pond in various directions. I noticed I was the only one doing that, but there was no cracking noise or whatever so I'm sure it was safe. There also was this guy on a moped who went onto the ice and a bunch of kids fooled around somewhere on the middle of the pond. They set off some fireworks, the noisy kind, while i was standing somewhere near the edge, and because sound travels faster through ice i heard this chirp increasing in volume followed by a bang. It was one of the strangest noises i had ever heard. It reminded me of some of the epic explosions you hear in SF movies.

All in all, I had a great time but I went home after my feet began hurting a lot. Last time i skated my calves started hurting, but this time they didn't hurt at all.Mirk:  accomplished |
