In other news, I couldn't help myself. I've been following roller skis on eBay for a while. The off road versions I won in the photo will work insanely well on the Wyre Forest. I'll re-sell the boots because they're too big, I've already got boots that fit. Being a skier I've always dreamed of races such as the 90km Vasalloppet in Sweden. I have the tools, now need the time. Patience.
