Mental but brilliant.  Didn't know you could stand on a tube, feel a new challenge compie coming on that could rival Broontroots unicycle  :z4

Un-nerving enough bobbing about on Stenness with all the seals about, never mind those fish (and everything else down there that might fancy a nibble at a fin or two :shock)

Strikes me as being an activity restricted to folk built like racing snakes  :grin which means I'm never going to be standing up in a 'tube  :shock I've way too much 'ballast' for me to give it a go  :z7
That said, most float tubes I've tried would probably be more stable than many a loch boat I've used in the past  :shock

Hi

Aye it would be great to tube the dam, but I agree there is no way its going to happen. Any word on Strathbeg being open for fishing again ?

Some people have really really good jobs...would love to have a bash at that!
