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

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 . I would post a pic, but I think it would be too graphic. It's much better than what it was though.

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. |

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.

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.
