Dan Abra practising his skiing tricks on a home made 'ski slope' in his back garden
Teenager builds dry ski slope in back garden, Sleaford, Lincolnshire, UK - 21 Feb 2018
A teenager has built a huge DRY SKI SLOPE in his family's back garden to train for the next WINTER OLYMPICS. Skier Dan Abra, 16, hopes to represent team GB at the Winter Olympics in 2022, but his nearest ski slope is two hours away. So now the teenager has constructed a 1.6 metre-high ski ramp at home, with help from his dad, Simon, so he can practise around the clock every day. Dan, who is part of the Snowsport England Home Nations Park and Pipe Academy for the 2017/18 season, used wooden pallets coupled with rails, two types of ski matting and artificial grass to make the tower, 5.5 metre-long ramp and pipe, which he uses as part of his freestyle ski training regime at home in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.

Charith buries sea turtle eggs in a protected location
Tsunami survivor builds turtle sanctuary, Sri Lanka - Aug 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/tkel
When the devastating Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami struck in 2004 it killed some 35,000 people in Sri Lanka and caused widespread devastation. Charith Dilshan was one of the lucky ones. When the waves struck he, his mother, two sisters and brother, along with other villagers, survived by fleeing to a temple on a nearby hill. Though they survived with their lives Charith's family home was destroyed and they, like many, resettled further away from the coast. However, after his brush with death Charith developed a deepened appreciation for nature and a feeling of responsibility to protect it. As a Buddhist, he believes, 'If you respect nature, nature will respect you.' As such he decided to transform his family's beachfront land into a sea turtle hatchery and sanctuary, where he protects endangered sea turtle eggs until they can be safely released, and rehabilitates injured or disabled turtles that cannot survive on their own.

Fetch.co.uk builds world's largest dog bowl, London, UK - 14 Jul 2016
Fetch.co.uk, Ocado?s online pet store, has built what could be the world?s largest dog bowl, in a bid to educate the country about keeping our dogs hydrated in the summer. The dog bowl stretches 4.5m in diameter, stands at 1m tall and can hold up to 2000 litres of water, providing an ample thirst quencher for pooches this summer. It is being unveiled today at Kennington Park in South London with plans to tour it across the UK once the capital?s thirst has been quenched. Over 80% of a dog?s weight comes from water but dogs lose water much more quickly than humans because they don?t sweat and cool themselves primarily by panting. A dog can become dangerously ill if it loses even 10% of this water weight, and as a nation of dog lovers, it's vital that we keep our dogs hydrated, particularly in the summer.

Multi-millionaire builds pirate island on lake on private estate in memory of grandfather, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 23 Jul 2013

Ahoy There! Multi-Millionaire Builds Pirate Island
A multi-millionaire family has built a PIRATE island on a lake in their 60 acre private estate - just five miles from the historic city of Cambridge.
James Challis, a member of the Dickerson family who have been established in the area for nearly 90 years, has created the amazing pirate paradise in memory of his grandfather.
Challis Island, which comes complete with a mock pub, day chalet and sun deck, has been built on a site originally bought by the late John Dickerson, who ran numerous successful businesses in Cambridgeshire.
It is located between industrial lands and includes a beach with a stream, lagoon and waterfall for the family and their guests to enjoy.
The lake was created in the 1970's, when James' great-grandfather Maurice Dickerson's company extracted sand and gravel from the site.
After 30 years the lake had become full of silt and desperately required maintenance to sustain the wildlife that it supports.
It has now been drained, dredged and levelled and the material used to form the pretend 18th century colonial island, which has been built from scratch.
It holds Georgian-style colonial buildings, which were prefabricated by a company called The Master Wishmakers and designed to look as though they have been abandoned.
They include The Black Doubloon, which is a place to entertain, and Coffer's Cabin, which is a day chalet built in the style of a military commander's office.
Lubbers Locker is a small beach hut, whilst Dead Man's Deck is a sun deck for barbecues built in the style of the ruins of a military post.
The whole island was hand-built by The Master Wishmakers, based in Kettering, Northants, who specialise in making their wealthy clients' dreams come true.
