Easy Saturday Skate - and the pre-skate

Having missed yesterday's skate I felt the need to get my fix somehow this weekend. I decided to go to the Easy Saturday Skate (ESS) as I had really enjoyed the two sessions I did the previous year. 

On the ESS Facebook group a skater, Neil posted that he was skating to Battersea Park (where ESS takes place), from Liverpool Street. Another girl Ashley replied that she was going too. It meant I had to wake up slightly earlier to be able to do this but it also gave me a chance to street skate too.

This was the first time I used social networking to meet some unknown skaters but as it turns out I had met Neil a couple of times before. (His profile picture was an artist portrait). 

The ESS Pre-skate was a lovely start to the Saturday morning through the city of London.
