PS: Don't forget, as per Steve Parton instructions: Do not inflate this type of valves with a pump! Always inflate by mouth or you will wreck the valves

Thanks Sandy
Guess what Sandy is referring to is that im a non swimmer and was very slow about taking to the tube. One session at Haddo at the back end last year took care of any concerns.
For anyone thinking about having a go i say go for it, its easy, feels very natural  and as Sandy says its bloody good fun.

You're not alone Noel, I swim like a lead brick floats  But even in some rough conditions (breaking waves on a hill,loch in Sutherland - focuses the mind I tell thee ) I've always felt 100% safe in a 'tube 

Must get the leviathan Navigator II out for a session this year - it wasn't out at all last season

As you can see Noel initially struggled to grasp the main concept of 'float' tubing. 



Once I mentioned that they worked a lot better on the water, rather than beside it, he soon got the hang of it.

Well he managed to go backwards pretty good. 

And after some expert tuition he bagged his first wild trout from the tube



Well done Noel, I wont mention that you were trolling...
