The midges are a problem, I too suffer their wrath and continuous harassment. If your planning on using a repellant? It's always best to go for the highest Deet content. It is this that repels them. Ill be going away soon, to a land plagued by mosquito's, I shall bring home with me some of the local brew should anyone want some on the trip? Regarding the bike security how secure is secure? You can only take a certain amount of steps to protect the blade whilst touring. I too will be fitting a disc lock which I have, also make a few stainless steel span wire loops if anyone wants one? You'll have to provide your own lock of course!
Bastid midges! Couple of pics from last year on a bike/camping trip at Loch Eig, Fort William. Look at the bastid midges even the camera picked them out! The dude stood in the background didn't seem to be bothered by them though, can't just remember his name, Wullie or Jock I think..........
Don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on letting the midge get a drink at my blood. I'll either be tanking it up some amazing road, or in the pub having a well deserved pint and a laugh. Fook the midge
Don't stand near me Barney as I seem to be a natural attractant similar thing happens in women's company.
Disc lock should be fine. Only problem ever encountered was somebody stealing our dust cap covers in Mallaig, and we are sure that was done by kids.
Funny you say that Si. I tried this before and it worked a treat, just couldn't remember what it was called. Got to wonder how someone caught onto this.
No idea, but been using it since late 80's. Always had a week away up to Loch Ness with the lads for years,Drumnadrochit and foyers etc... and got recommended it by a punter, used it ever since. Works a treat, and smells nice too, as well as looking radiant for the duration of the holiday. I even met some dodgy looking bird in the Blarmor who commented on it. She was minting, probably the town bicycle, but i nailed her anyway. I have been put off prawns ever thus…..
Yup, Avon cream for men dude, it's not that i browse the best skin creams for men though, innit shamone. You guys are so not metrosexual.
Mine is from the US of A from years back when I worked in Connecticut on a camp America thing in the summer when at Uni - the Brits got eaten alive and was given 2 bottles of it to prevent it!
He'll be too busy reciting A Red Red Rose from Robert Burns to Sheila in the Butchers Arms Giv… The smooth Bastard.
