Folks - this will sound weird but for a couple of years now I've been hankering after an ice pick. This is a single pole with a metal end for testing the depth of the ice for skating (the number of times you hit before you go through the ice tells you how many cm deep/safe or unsafe it might be). Normally I only ever ice skate where it's known to be safe but next year I was going to go with tour group and be more adventurous). These poles can upwards of 50 euros so I told myself not to waste money on what is really only just fun after all..
Today I found a pristine one in the rubbish skip of my apartment. Can't believe it !!!Things really come to those who wait...now waiting for a REALLY cold winter next year
Wanted to share my amazement with you too :roll:
