It is 8.45 a.m.! and I have just come in from planting some leeks - yes I know it is a bit late, but at least I won't have to water them - and I have been eaten alive by midges.
I am fast coming to the conclusion we need danger money for doing this walk next month (four weeks time in fact) if the midges are going to be as fearsome as the Teviothead ones. Maybe summer will have arrived by then and it will be too hot and sunny for them. Some of the team have even put themselves through the agony of doing trials with various sprays/creams etc but so far haven't come up with the winning formula other than midge nets. Yes could be interesting, maybe next time we decide to do a walk it will be pre or post midge time of the year. Hopefully fit in a walk over the weekend just to test the waterproofs again.
