swim in Shadwell Basin
Nice. I used to work near enough to be tempted but never quite got the courage to go in.
We don't have any snow here
Neither does Hampstead Heath but I'm expecting that to change tonight. I usually go to Parliament Hill Lido (hot showers, sauna when I have time, easier for me to get to) but might try to get to the ponds this weekend, perhaps early on Saturday.

I read a few reviews of the DHB gloves and didn't buy them because of that - C-Skins Legend were recommended by a few people, so I got them instead. I don't have a lido nearby, so swim in Shadwell Basin - it's a lovely big expanse to have to yourself, but climbing 10 feet up a ladder isn't easy without the use of hands and feet, so the gloves are a necessary safety measure as well.
We don't have any snow here, but I'm trying to get away from work early today to smash the ice...
