Picture dated January 22nd shows people fen skating near Ely, Cambridgeshire on Sunday afternoon. The Cambridgeshire Fens have been turned into an incredible vast natural ice rink after the flooded FIELDS froze over. Skaters made the most of the freezing weather today (Sun) to try out the enormous rink - after a SIX-INCH SHALLOW covering of water froze over the fields. The stunning rink, which stretches for miles, is a skater’s paradise and locals were keen to go for a spin whilst the big freeze continues. It takes three nights of temperatures of minus six or below to form ice strong enough to skate on. Just where in the Fens it is possible to skate varies from year to year and depends on where the farmers and river authorities have allowed the land to flood.
