Holme Pierrepont – White Water Course
The 2009 European Canoe Slalom Championships will be help on the River Trent white water course at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham (multimap)
Description
The white water course was artificially constructed in 1986 and utilises a drop of
4m caused by a flood control barrage on the River Trent.
A high flow rate of 25 cumecs makes the course deep and powerful.
Since playing host to the ICF Senior World Canoe Slalom Championships in 1995,
the course has played host to a number of major international events include a
Wild Water Racing World Cup, European Freestyle Championships and the
2006 ECA Under 23 and Junior European Canoe Slalom Championships.
More images from the slalom course are available from the
