Now that swimming pools have re-opened, many people may be contemplating going for a dip.
That's what Springburn comedian Gary Faulds may have thought when he tried the newest thrill-seeker outdoor activity, whitewater tubing.
In reality, he called the activity "basically the Time Capsule on steroids".
Gary was joined by friends and fellow comedian Gary Meikle alongside unsuspecting fan Darren MacLeod, who answered Gary’s call on Facebook for someone to get involved at Pinkston Watersports Centre in North Glasgow.
Participants are given a rubber ring before taking to Scotland’s only artificial whitewater course for a ride down the rapids.
Although not for the faint hearted, the controlled rapids allow the team at Pinkston to provide a fully whitewater experience for people in a controlled, safe environment.
Pinkston is already home to other water activities including kayaking, stand up paddle-boarding and open water swimming.
Hannah Blair, Pinkston Watersports Centre general manager and Glasgow Canal Co-op co-director, said: “We’re so excited to have launched whitewater tubing at Pinkston.
"This is an adrenaline-filled activity that lets people get up close with our controlled rapids.
“We’ve had a great reaction from people who have had a lot of fun taking part so far, including comedians Gary Faulds and Gary Meikle who gave us all a laugh.
"We’re based at Port Dundas just minutes from the city centre so people looking for a thrilling outdoor experience don’t have far to come.”
