Just watched one of those nature programs currently doing the rounds. Part of it set in Scotland, where I'm heading this summer, so I thought I'd better watch.
Those midges were horrific, I've been blessed with soft southern midges up until now, never seen anything like it.
I am planning on doing a lot of walking while I am in Scotland, plus some bothying, bivying, canoeing etc.
What do you Northern folk do to avoid getting chomped to pieces?
Any kit recommendations? Repellants? Jackets/hoods?
I'm still shuddering at the footage of these midges>
TIA
Alex
