With an air temp of 1c, donned in dry suit and wearing gloves i went for a Crunchy sup paddle.
Not entirely true, i set off from Underbank on calm water, headed up towards the inlet end, its sheltered, tree lined, and a couple of degree’s colder up there.
It made a lot of noise as i broke a line through the ice crust towards some moving water, i needed to get there to turn around. It was either that, or paddle backwards through ice for 50m.
