<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Hi all bone skate enthusiasts!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I happened to run across a possible historical (and current) practice of skating which might be of interest to bone skate researchers. </div>
<div>Fen skating</div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 33); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">www.</span><b style="color: rgb(0, 102, 33); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">fenskating</b><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 33); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">.co.uk</span></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 33); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br>
</span></div>
<div>It seems to tie in well with the distribution of skates in the UK and continues to have international enthusiasts, particularly in NW Europe. google search brings up some interesting sources and photos. While the modern skates seem to be wood and metal, shape comparisons would be interesting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It may be all of you interested in bone skates already know about fen skating, but I certainly had missed it!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>very best</div>
