Bit of a bummer that. Which foot? Be very careful about the infection. Hope it turns out alright - foot and holiday. |

Thanks weegie, it's my left foot so at least I can still drive. But then it depends on how the infection is. On antibiotics, strong ones so hopefully the infection be gone by the time I go. If anybody about up that way we could meet up for a coffee. |

Thanks Douglas, what you said about the midges sounds quite believable though it's not something I would try |

In relation to midges, one tip is to take some Avon Skin So Soft with you. It is recommended as an ant-midge screen. John

All in hand weegie, I went last year and someone from here recommended skin so soft and worked a treat. |

They do say that midges only bite non-Scots |

That's ok Alan, I'll try and use a Scots accent, that should throw them off the scent |

Midgies aren't the real problem these days. Yes, they are a bloody nuisance, but they won't kill you!

Avon skin so soft and the like don’t actually stop the midges landing on you and crawling about … which is half the issue with them. I’ve yet to try these, but they look ok like a possible mitigation to them.

Hope this is allowed, I use a product called Midges & Mozzie balm which is made in the North East of Scotland:

Jeez jmc, the amount of times I've been up there I've not seen any those horse flies. I'm sure you'd hear a big whack if one bounces off your windscreen.
