Two friends say they have smashed the Guinness World Record for the fastest journey of the length of Loch Ness by tandem kayak.
Bristol University student James Reilly and Ted Simpson, who is a student at Edinburgh University, had to beat a time of five hours and 19 minutes.
The pair have made the 23 mile (36km) paddle down the loch in four hours 43 minutes and 43 seconds.
They will submit the time to Guinness World Records.
Their record bid has also raised money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
