outer hebrides in may, ticks, midges and weather

porter_jamie · 2023-03-16T10:52:46Z

Hi Very much looking forward to a trip to the Outer Hebrides in early may. Taking the bus and staying in camping pods. Anyone got any experience of the midges in early may? Also, ticks? Im hoping it wont be too bad for midges, apparently the ticks are a thing on the Uists. I shall be prepared with the tick hooks and we got some anti tick stuff when we were on exmoor recently and it seemed to work. As for anti Midge stuff im clueless - maybe they will sell stuff locally that will help? Also, the cost of a hotel in Fort William on the way home - 200 quid a night for a travelodge. Wow.

Indeedy. Also did a drive round South Lochs as it's a corner of Lewis I didn't know, was rather taken with it.
