Frozen Waterfall Adventure

[comanighttrain]

The waterfall in our hometown was semi frozen. The pool below was frozen and covered with frozen fragments. The pictures dont do it justice but you get the idea....pristine ice...some of it like glass. Crawled over the ice using a stick to probe for weakness. Had my mate tie a rope to me incase it broke... doubt it'd do me much good as the water would drive me away from the break probably...luckily it was completely solid!

And where abouts is that roughly?

Its just outside my hometown of Kinlochleven in Argyll, Scotland. Was up at my old mans for xmas and everything was frozen.

I tried Google mapping it....

Why do posts have to be 10 letters long..?

Why do posts have to be 10 letters long..?
I've now changed it to 2 characters, going with the theory that allows the minimum of: "lol" or perhaps a smiley.

Ashley, you probably already know this but in your twitter name you spelt natural wrong. Is that because of a certain length for a username?

Yep! :( No matter how annoying it is... Twitter only allows a maximum of 15 characters for usernames, so I had to be just 1 letter short!
