Mean midges on the hottest day of the year!
I am guessing at some point rather than keeping midges out my net kept one in for a feast and it has chomped itself around the edge of my face down my neck and behind my ears before no doubt dying due to gluttony! Between that and horse flies that seemingly bit me through my trousers I am marginally peeved today....on the hottest oh wait wettest day of my holiday. The usual whoopsy where has the morrning gone as I ate my bacon amd scrambled eggs which basically.means Walnut then stops eating! Today was going to be our big day maybe even two hikes. Thay rapidly diminshed to maybe one in the drizzle soon to be rain that was expected. All needing to be within an hour of home to avoid carcolepy issues. A quick recap of the things/points of interest that I had saved and i was off to yomp along Hadrians wall and climb up into Robin Hood famous and infampusly treeless gap and look out yonder at my lands!!! For something so iconic that is no more it was surprisingly pop...
