A hilarious video shows an unfortunate hillwalker taking the plunge as he enjoys the great outdoors.
The man - wearing a woolly bobble hat, a brown hooded jacket and beige trousers - was filmed making a treacherous leap over a fast-flowing burn in Glencoe.
He lands successfully on both feet but falls backwards, trying to grab the slippery rocks before ending up in the chilly water.
Despite having a great laugh at their pal’s icy mishap, the group of hillwalkers were there for a serious cause as they were all members of a men’s mental health support group.
Gerard Williamson, founder of the Man Cave support group , said: “We do various things like hillwalking, meditation, yoga and cold water therapy.
“On this day, this guy went for the cold water therapy a bit earlier than expected. Laughter is the best medicine and he took it well and all in good spirit.”
The Man Cave group provides support and activities for men of all ages to share their experiences and develop new interests while boosting their mental and physical health.
Dad of three Gerard, from Motherwell , said: “We do things like cold water therapy where we go for a walk around Chatelherault and at the end we go for some cold water immersion at the end.
“On that day, there were about 18 or 19 of us that day up in the Highlands. We were just making our way into the hills when it happened.
“We were planning to do some gorge walking and maybe some cold water therapy on the way back in. The man that fell in wasn’t planning to do any cold water therapy that day and wasn’t planning to get wet.
“Obviously that didn’t got according to plan for him.”
Gerard’s Man Cave group now has more than 300 members on Facebook.
