Journey with a young girl seeking to discover the truth of her ancestry and how this links in with the development of ice skating on a regional, national and international level. The journey takes her to the wild and threatening Fenland country of the nineteenth century. Marvel with her as she becomes part of a land of vast skies, of clinging earth, of rain, sun and malevolent winds. Re-create with her the lives and experiences of some of the hardy Fenland people and join with them in their times of adversity and success. But above all, through the eyes of an old newspaper man, meet the 'characters' from the young girl's past. Individuals that led hard, back-breaking lives, often struggling themselves against the elements but who with courage, enormous strength and determination used the skills they had been given to become not only celebrities in the Fens but known on an international stage too. The Fenland skaters. This is their story.
