GregP May 2016 3:43pm, 17 May 2016 82,179 posts	Quote Pin GregP Weirdly, it's half the world from me and TRO but we - or at least I - view it as a 'home' course. Think I've raced at Dorney more than any other two places put together.
fraggle May 2016 3:50pm, 17 May 2016 777 posts	Quote Pin fraggle top tip for Dorney - its shallow, and if the water is fairly clear you can follow the wires that are at the bottom of the lake that the buoys attach to, reduces sighting cock-ups (which explains why my swim times at Dorney are some my best) +1 for Gobi's advice about the wind though...
