If anyone has any good tips on beating the midges, please share them!

I got absolutely devoured this weekend up by Loch Latrine (edit: Katrine) (completely forgot it was midge season, so I was unprepared).

    I always get eaten alive, luckily my antihistamines stop most bites punching through (but when they do… Oh boy!). I always find the only solution is insect repellent.

      I’m on some really strong antihistamines (fenofexadine) but sadly that didn’t seem to put them off!

        They don’t put them off, just makes the bites less inflamed. You need to team them with insect repellent.
