The nightmare continues…

Just when you thought it was safe to go out.

Just when you had forgotten the misery.

I was at Glentress last night, and had stopped and was having a chat with me mates… then I got attacked by a big fat hairy midge! Aaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

With a medievel axe?

Could have been worse – it could have been a muddydwarf…

Hmmm, got the first Mozzie of the season this morning, with my electric zapper bat.

The winter months must’ve dragged by. What did you do with yourself? 😀

Got bitten to pieces Sunday before last in Forest of Dean. Nothing was going to stop the bloody sucking little vampires onslaught!

Suffer No More

The midges are back eh… ah well im sure there will be plenty for my annual trip to scotland in the summer, gotta love the midges!!

That would be a small not-so-fat hairy midgeT…. 😛

In 1969 humans managed to land on the moon yet we still cant crack the midge menace….

I have high hopes for Smidge. As far as I am aware, it is the first product to have been researched and developed in Scotland particularly to deal with the midge and not just a generic anti-insect, or cosmetic product.

Jeeze, you’re worried about midges? Bunch of pansies. 🙄

Guinea-Worm; now that’s something to be worried about…

I have a can of smidge to try this weekend. Supposed to be effective a DEEt but not as foul. we shall see

Elf – someone your size could be a shrivelled up husk if you got got by the midges – they are vicious you know

No midges to report here in Glencoe yet. I have my midge magnet machine on standby, all primed and ready to go 🙂

I’d punch the little bastards.

Just cover yourself in lemon juice.

And smoke. Smoking keeps them away.

It must be nearly a month since I was first bitten this season.

Keep up at the back. (location Greenhall woods, High Blantyre, South Lanarkshire).

They don’t bother me much.

I take Vit B in the season. It used to keep the sandflies away in Oz and seems to work with Midges.

It’s always best to have some fresh meat* along though.

*someone who has not previously been feasted on.

I spoke too soon, first confirmed midge sighting (and kill) 5 minutes ago. Dirty little *******$$$.

they were terrible near Lochinver last week when the wind briefly dropped, not a good sign for April!

might have to give that smidge a go, can’t stand the smell of skin so soft!

Not sure why I’ve not come across it before, its been around a while:

aye, they were out in force in Mugdock last night. Today’s rain will be a wee tonic for them 👿

just back from a week in caithness and sutherland and saw a total of 1 of the little buggers.

locals are saying it’s going to be a bumper year for them as the heavy snowfall prevented the ground freezing hard and killing off the midgies.

just glad we got our trip in before the got going

Hate them. Out in force last night here in the Beacons 🙁

1 more piece of kit to carry on rides…

2 weeks till the midge forecast is back
