M'off in the morning ... CT125 'Adventure Cub'

Are you heading up the east side to keep away from the midges? Only asking because I may have a trip up there next week if the sun has got it's hat on.😎
Godspeed. :beerjug:
If you get here Monday you can have a bed for the night and join us in Inverness on Tuesday. Just don't tell the wife, I haven't.
 
I've just had a couple of nights up the north coast....Loch Eribol/Polla... fishing, and last night particularly, the midges were as bad as I've ever seen them...shocking!

Thanks for the midge report. :thumb2
I hope the fishing was good.
 
None on Orkney, I'm heading that way in about 9 days time, couple of islands I've not been to yet

Do they not hang out on Orkney, or was it just a pleasant coincidence ?

I quite fancy a trip up there myself.

Nope, bad on the west coast, a few here in the centre and none on the east coast or Moray coast or the Orkney islands

I like the islands, especially if you leave the "mainland" island and go to the smaller ones.

What was I getting eaten alive by on Orkney then? I had to make a run for it. Clouds of the damn things, I had the bike parked in the middle of the big stone ring. Not the one the coach loads go to, about a mile south of that one on the opposite side of the road - just a farmer's gate to it. Anywhere near the lochs too, just as bad as anywhere else in Scotland, or the Lake District or Wales tooo, come to that. I think it is anywhere there is moss or heather, or just damp grass.

It was, as usual, delicious but maybe too much fat attached to the bacon. Standards falling and I had words with them ... monitoring the situation :rob

So to The Buccleuch Arms ... first pint on the house ...
