Becky and I went skating at Cambridge On Ice, the temporary ice rink on Parker's Piece. I've not been skating for many years but I think I got back to about my usual level of competence fairly quickly.

It's quite small and pretty crowded; unlike larger rinks there wasn't much scope for escaping to the middle to avoid slow wobbly people (once I'd stopped being slow and wobbly myself l-) unless you're prepared to skate in very small circles. However I didn't actually collide with anyone (or fall over for any other reason for that matter).

It's £8.95 for an adult to get in and that gets you an hour (but you have to be ready to go onto the rink on the hour - we turned up at ten to eight so that was fine, if you turned up at twenty past the hour you'd have rather a wait for the next slot). You can book online (ETA: but LNR points out this carries an outrageously expensive booking fee).

Yow, that I'd not spotted. (We just turned up and bought tickets at the box office, which didn't have that charge.)
