NEW
UK CABLE TOW FACILITY
|
Willen
Lake - Milton Keynes
|
|
Aqua
Ski completed a
new UK cable tow
water skiing course
in May 2002 for
Whitecap Leisure
at their Milton
Keynes Location.
This
is the largest cable
tow course in the
UK and possibly
in Europe.
Stephen
Todd of Ace SEO accompanied
the designer of
the course, Gerry
Russell one day
during August on
his 3 month running
in, inspection visit.

The
directors of Whitecap
Leisure wanted the
whole rig reversed
to take up less
of the lake,
making the first
two bends the hardest
to negotiate.

free - approaching
the last tower,
the easiest bend
on the rig. Of course
to get here, you've
got to get round
the first two bends!
