MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
what is the score up there this time of year ?
Was up there last Monday and not a bite to be had 8) did 'skin so soft' just in case though
Don't recall any from Monday or last Wednesday night
anyone recommend a good watering hole round there
We rode there yesterday and it's completely midge free atm.
However was speaking to some people in the know and they said because of the harsh winter, the lavae ( hope I've got that right) will have been struck down with the low temperatures, thus being lower numbers of midges this year.
Hope that makes sense.
Dumfries isn't too far for a good pint or 2 and you can pick up a good ale guide in the tourist office in Dumfries.
most areas of Scotland still midge free, just. Here's hoping for 10 under the ben on Sat !!!
anywhere closer to mabie for a beer or two
take some Avon Skin So Soft you will not have any problem with the midgies 😉
Got recomended be some scotish fishermen.
recommendations of places to visit etc with 3 kids ?
