Beacon on Ice

In the shadow of the interesting Imaginosity building is a small ice rink that has been set up especially for the Christmas season. There is an indoor tent type area where you can get your skates on and prepare yourself for scary slippy ice (okay it’s probably not scary for most people but not being stable no my feet terrifies me!). The actual ice itself is made up of two sections a big one for big people and the kids who are really good at skating, much better than me. And then there is a small section for small children who want to give skating a go, I think I would have been better off in this section, there are none of those expert skater kids whizzing around in the small bit so there is no fear of someone knocking you over. It’s a fairly simple set up, just somewhere to try out your winter sporting skills that most Irish people don’t have. I wonder where they got the staffs who work here; they are expert skaters and are ready to pick you up when you fall down! Where did they learn how to skate?
