Tombstoning Loch Ness 100 things to do 31 to 40
I absolutely do not advise anyone to participate in the practice recently called tombstoning anywhere! A local lad sadly lost his life this week after leaping into the Falls of Foyers. The growth in popularity of extreme sports is fine but I would stress that it is done under supervision of expert instructor, so it’s not that I say don’t do it, just learn how to do it first before going out on your own or with your mates. We have a number of great outdoor activity holiday guides around the Loch Ness area – adrenaline junkies use them till you are good enough to show others how it should be done. The last thing I want to see anywhere in the country is all our falls, riverbanks and crags fenced off for safety reasons. Health and safety regulations already dictate too much of what we can and can’t do. Come, enjoy, but exercise caution when messing about in the country – rocks get slippery and uneven surfaces can make accidents in even the most unlikely places, so be safe, be careful and go home with great memories.
