Personally, I thought they weren't too bad in the 10 days I was camping at Glenmore.

Oh yes, negative 13 midgies in Crianlarich, Ben Lui here we come!

no midges in our weeks tour.

They only bite slow fat people…

??

colin……………..twas for comedy effect mate……….. 🙄

You've got to question the accuracy of that. The midges in Aberfeldy are much worse than last year

Ton – I was wondering at the uncovered lags and arms 😀

Glenmore was terrible last Friday night when pitching my tent but no bother at any other time over the weekend.

I thought all of them were in Kielder last weekend!! Felt like it anyway!

all this posting is making me itch

IIRC it was just a teeny bit windy last weekend so no surprise they didn't make an appearance. They will definitely be back for a couple of encores before the summer's completely done

Kielder? Never noticed them. 😯

Last time i was camped at Ullapool i tuned into Radio Ullapool FM and after the local news and weather they had a midge report…class!
it was correct as was eaten that evening… 😮

Kielder midges weren't that bad.

Try Skye on a damp August evening for proper insect-inflicted savagery.

Not a problem at all here in That London, although we do have a problem with Scrotes from the nearby
Aberfeldy estate (Tenuous link).

Sorry.

that must be the easiest forecasting job in the world after this one… 😉

lol… Glen Orchy is also a feast site on a still evening, was in the tent down there past the bridge once and the high pitch drone outside was unreal…luckily i was self substained inside…food and beer inside…always take a 2 litre milk carton to save going out to the call of nature!

Thought that said midgets? Wrong forum 😯

clearly, they've never been to Colonsay.

I counted one or two in the car park at Aonach Mor last night, but I'm sure they're gone now…

Thanks Stuart. Going to be there for a week from next Saturday. So looking forward to it now

Were you there for the presentation?

Yup.

They certainly made their presence felt, but they were bearable.

There was millions never seen as many and can't see you'd get more. However I was lucky they didn't bite me at all really but I was layered it all sorts of repellent.
