Olympic silver medallist Campbell Walsh has supplemented his training camp in Australia with a week in south-west France.

Walsh, who won his silver in Athens in 2004, spent time in Pau, home town to two top French paddlers Tony Estanguet and Fabien Lefevre.

The course will host a World Cup race in the summer and Walsh felt it was an opportune time to test it out.

Walsh is now back in Nottingham for a heavy block of physical training as he builds towards the new season.
