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’ve been reading up on them and apparently the females bite to feed on blood in order to mature their eggs, which they can lay & hatch in 24h…so if you’re in one place for more than a day it may actually get progressively worse.

    “I was a hossenfeffer biter, like my mother, and my mother’s mother, and my mother’s mother’s mother…”
