You are teasing me now Dougie - I will probably have to wait until the new season to get one due to impending new arrival in January - Bloody Campbell refuses to use all his luggage allowance to pick me one up in the states - that the last time I take a photo of him with a big fish - next time I will chop his head off! Cool

Andy,

You should be able to negotiate fins as part of the deal when buying a tube. Some retailers may also include a pump as a complete package. You will need to purchase a life jacket seperately though I would imagine.

I think I'd rather use my own LJ if I was making a habit of going in boats/tubes .At least I'd know how well it had been looked after and if it didn't work I couldn't blame anyone else .

Hope you take someone with you to photograph you being dragged across loch lomond by a huge pike on one of your budgie luresLaughinglol!….It would pobably look like”tunny fishing”-dont know if you ever saw footage of that on tv,but they showed clips of people being dragged about on small boats,whilst being strapped in,by huge tunny fish(i think they are a type of giant tuna).I think it was hosted by nick fisher,but not sureUndecided.Anybody else see that?…Just remembered the name of the program-screaming reels!.
