A few weeks ago, Holme Pierrepont hosted the World Freestyle Championships. For a couple of weeks, white water freestyle canoe and kayakers from across the world converged on the Trent in Nottingham and we got to watch some of the top athletes in the world doing their thing right at home.
I got to pop down on the Monday with the school I’m at , who we introduced to kayaking on the top pool and then had 10 minutes at lunch to snap away at a practise session. Then popped back down on the Finals day on Saturday – where we were drenched and warmed by glorious sun in equal measure while watching the competition.
