2 June

Back to Rother Valley Country Park.
It has one of those cable water ski contraptions that takes skiers around the lake on a pully.
(That's why the rope looks high)
Luckily for me there were three skiers using it today.

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DC
1/1000s f/7.1 at 200.0mm ISO 200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Heard abot it, but not tried it - and probably won't!

Those pully things are so difficult... tried one at Thorpe park. Not only when the rope catches you do you go from a standing start to full speed off a ramp in 1 second flat, but if you don't take the corner correctly, the line goes slack and then pulls you off at 90 degrees.... I spent a lot of time in the water and had very sore shoulder sockets :-) Nice action pic with the water spray

Nice action shot. Is hanging after a boat? The rope seems so high in angle
