A Bunch of Tubes On The River Garry!

A few photos to make you smile from a recent River Tubing session on the River Garry, close to Fort William. This family-friendly, fun activity is available throughout the summer. Great for a first-time whitewater experience, great for kids aged 8 and up, and great for the accompanying big kids too.

Find out more on our website, and maybe we'll see you soon!

At In Your Element, we go to great lengths to make sure we know exactly what to expect when we take customers on activity experiences. This instructor (who has chosen to remain anonymous😂) is apparently checking the river bed for obstacles that might get in the way. No stone goes unturned (or river tubes in this case)!

Needless to say, having gone above and beyond, this instructor now has the most in-depth knowledge of our Fort William River Tubing venue of all our staff.

Obviously looking for a pay rise or something!

You Don't Need To Be In Your 20's To Do A Canoe Expedition...... a review from a 50-something year old!

Epic adventure, lingers with you long afterwards:

'The most incredible adventure that will stay long in my memory. Our guide Luke, from In Your Element, excelled in his role, teaching us novices all things kayak, cheffed up the most amazing three-course evening meals, hot breakfasts (impossible to go hungry) and kept us safe.

As a woman aged 50-something, I was apprehensive about the physical challenge - and it was hard but doable, although glad I’d upped my training to prepare. The weather was appalling, freezing at times, with gusty headwinds slowing us, so we didn’t quite reach the end, but already planning a return trip next year to conquer the trail!'

There's a moment on every gorge walk where you look around and think: how have I never done this before?

Water rushing past, ancient rock walls on either side, and your group cheering each other through every jump and scramble. It's one of those days that just sticks with you.

We have spaces left on our guided gorge walk at Brig o' Turk on Friday 30th May — the perfect excuse to get off the sofa and into the wild. Come join us!󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
