Training

Caught this wheelchair athlete training in the sun along the side of the rowing course at the National Water Sports Centre at Holme Pierrepont near Nottingham, a comprehensive water sports facilities, it was purpose-built to facilitate the training of elite athletes and the holding of National and International competitions primarily in the disciplines of rowing and both white water and placid water kayaking/canoeing, although it is used to run many other activities. The Centre is set in 270 acres (1.1 km2) of country park and boasts a 2000 m Regatta Lake, White Water Slalom Course and Water Skiing Lagoon.
a really good image here Peter.. excellent Pov and Dof.. i like that the guy has room to move into.. love this broad view which allows a considerable amount of the environment to be seen..

As a family (far too many moons ago), we attended here as both spectators of and competitors in Slalom Kayaking. it was a fabulous place then and looks to be as well kept now..
