Only takes the door to be open seconds to get an infestation.

I really don't know how the locals can live there Andy. They seem to just swarm around your face in the evening.
Even the bride is starting to scratch now!

just from watching me itch!

Had this discusion with a mate when we escaped awe. I reckon locals have an imunity or higher tolerance. I know when theres a hatch of em on the canals they dont bother me at all. Open all windows fully and drive at speed. Should clear em out

Probably, just seen carls bites. never seen bites quite that bad. worst ive seen on myself and other scots are just a few small red dots, not bumps like those

A mate of mine starts taking antihistamines a week before he goes fishing it seems to help him as he comes out in lumps too.

Aloe Vera straight out the leaves has helped but it was gnats and midges.
Little feckers.

Was up at Awe last week but cut the trip short by a day due to the heavy rain forecast for friday and the midges, they were really bad and they don't normally bother me at all, my mate was eaten alive and is now covered in bites.
The locals said they the midges had arrived earlier than normal and that they were particularly bad this year, we had to kip in the van with all the windows tight shut but getting out onto the boat in the morning and coming in at night was a nightmare.
First time I've been up in the summer, might stick to times when they are not about in future.

Will.

BUMP! Any of you my Scottish cousins heading down then and able to help a friendly Sassenach?

You'd need a van more than likely and Neilson lives Alloa way.

(I'll bung you £51 face)

I know it's a BIG ask but is anyone coming from Scotland to this years PAC Convention that might be able to meet up before hand and collect a rather large item from Neilson Baxter near Alloa and drop it to me at the Convention site please?

The tubes obviously deflate but it's reputed to then fit in the boot of a car (I'd say small van required myself)?
Like I said I acknowledge it's a tall order but I'll bung you £50 to help offset your fuel costs and buy you a pint if any of you can help please?

(Thanks in anticipation face)

Anyone ?

(Don't make me come to Scotland and fish for your pike face)
