SPRINGBURN comic Gary Faulds had helped launch whitewater tubing in North Glasgow.
Pinkston Watersports Centre now offers the activity and Faulds tried it out alongside fellow comedian Gary Meikle.
Anyone wanting to take part is given a rubber ring to test out on Scotland's only artificial whitewater course for a ride they won't forget.
Gary described the experience as 'basically the Time Capsule on steroids'.
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.”
