Your euphemism for midges, Kit?
Just watched the OP programme, great to get views of the other side of the islands (never like the twirly, pipey folk music backgrounds they put on though. Pumping bass driven rock next time please!). Geographically, it has the usual paradox, can often be the grimmest place on earth, but being there on a nice day – oh yeah 8) Of course, being there in the right clothing improves every day.
Hoping to do a few epic rides there next year (torridon, slioch etc.) – might buzz you at the time Steve in case you'll be visiting…
