TOM TERRIER 173 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Scotland is awesome, Glen Nevis is one of the nicest places I have been. Glen Coe and Isle of Skye are worth a visit too. Spin to lock ness and camp a night there maybe too? Had some brilliant holidays up there ever, found some great places by buying a map and exploring the back roads over mountains. Have a good one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Tune into nevis radio you get a daily midgie report lol tbh its not as nearly as bad as last year, but that can change i suppose. Another wee outing is the Ben nevis distillery. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonah. 775 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Do not forget to take some midge repellant they are real hungary at this time of year smidge is good and smells ok. we have been using Avon skin so soft through the summer down here, obviously "harder" midges up that way but its been good so far..was hoping that they would have died off a bit in September..

DIVERD 34 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Midges were bad yesterday. I was over in fort william stalking last week, and it was bad at times. Smidge works for me. The stags are just beginning to get moving, and the first roaring should be any day now / next week. It is always worth seeing and hearing that. we stalk the other side of Fortwilliam, at Corpach and Locheil, and the scenery is quite something. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll tolerate midges for a stag roar...I'd no idea it was the season, fingers crossed Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
