Team GB speed skater heads to frozen fen fields

Skaters have flocked to The Fens, including a Team GB speed skater.

Fen skating takes place when a field floods and then freezes over, so the ice is very shallow, in places just a few centimeters, unlike frozen lakes.

Peter Riches is a Team GB short track skater who came from Nottingham to try out the conditions at Welney, where John Devine was watching.
