Islay In The Summer.

Will we need midge repellent?

[Redhelen72]

Yes sweetie, Avon so soft is better actually

Unless you are incredibly fortunate to be someone that the mini-hooligans don't bite, then you most certainly will. This is the one I use:

Enjoy your holiday.

Brings back memories of staying in my Great Aunty and Uncle's house - no electric, but own beach at the bottom of the garden.

[Tilly2]

Oh! Sorry, I got it wrong. We are going to Skye, North Uist and Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay, Harris, Lewis and Ullapool.

I was convinced we were going to Islay!

[Toorak]

You’ll still need midge repellent Tilly

[Toorak]

That sounds lovely by the way - a cruise?

[Tilly2]

Not exactly a cruise, Toorak. Coaches and boats I think.

this is also meant to be good!

[Redhelen72]

That’s what I use piggy.
Skye and Benbecula are amazing Tilly

[Toorak]

Are you off to Islay this year RH?

I have to confess to having visited hardly any of the Western Isles - I plan to rectify that in future.

[Tilly2]

I have the blue Skin so Soft oil sprays. Will that be enough or do I need the Smidge stuff as well??

[Tilly2]

Helen, I blame you for my mistake. I always think of you as Islay. :-)

[Redhelen72]

Lol Tilly
I am Tuvok in November for a fortnight then we have booked 3 weeks in 2024

[bobbinwales]

yes RH i can see why you mixed up tuvok and toorak on this thread... i read them as the same atfirst

[Canary42]

Oddly enough, of several visits to various parts of the NW coast of Scotland, Skye was the one place where midges never troubled me.

The worst was Lochinver.

[Toorak]

I can confirm that tuvok & I are not one and the same :-)

[Redhelen72]

I apologise - I did not have my glasses on - no offence meant Toorak
