Well I didn't get much further today, with the ice even thicker after another cold day, and a cold, I thought I was getting over, getting worse I turned the boat around to head back to Northolt. It sounds easy when written down, but it took over an hour of breaking ice with a pole, and the boat. Even the bit I had broken the day before was quite thick again.
Now the day is starting to warm up a bit, and with a coal pair heading into London from Brentford the ice is nicely clearing up, although the wind is now getting up making it feel even colder. Cheers, Mike -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_DOT_zapto_DOT_org/
