I bought some skates and tried out Westchester Lagoon, a man-made lake in the centre of Anchorage which they keep cleared for public skating. It was 25 years since my last time on the ice when we used to take Vicky and Heather to skating lessons at Southampton Ice Rink (now demolished).
After a couple of goes I am now getting the hang of it again. Stand aside Torville & Dean - my skating is a cross between Orville the Duck and Mr Bean.
My ambition is to post a video of me doing real skating, cornering and stopping without falling over. Could take a while.
