Picture: Primal Playout (Snow Play)

Great fun today with home made Atlas stones (packed as ice) - heavier than you think.  It was around -3C degrees so was pretty cold.  But we don't often have snow in London so today we made the most of it!  

Tomorrow I aim to get this iceball above the head, I managed to get it to head height.
