Midges - when do they disappear

[RedLeader]

When can we expect the little devils to bugger off and leave us campers be?

A mate of mine was telling me recently about his experiences in Scotland – they've got the super midge over there it seems. Maybe we don't get it so bad!

I remember wandering about in the forests of Scotland and we were attacked by a weird flying beastie that seemed to bury its head in your flesh and leave it there.

That Russian bloke has it sussed. Essential kit.

Last year I encountered them in November high in the mournes. I didnt expect to see them at that time of year so presumably it takes quite cold weather to suppress them.

I was up snifflyslat today and thought it strange that there were midges... An hour ago my neck developed small lumps (bites) God they love me even this time of the year Vitb it is again.....
