Damn, heading to Grinduro next month on Arran. I'll add a tick removal kit to my bag.
Thanks for the heads up.

Chronic fatigue?
I suspect everyone reading this is now, like me, thinking "I'm tired all the time..."
Hypochondria setting in.
Hope you shake it off soon. Sounds nasty.

That's shitty man, and thanks for the reminder. I hope things get better.

hello,
some of you might be aware that i got Lymes disease doing the North 500 in May last year and I've been pretty debilitated since, for those that are planning on touring Scotland-or anywhere in the UK now really-please be careful and take precautions like packing a tick remover and antiseptic, as well as insect repellant and long trousers if you're wild camping-it might save you a lot of hardship later on. Some more info here: https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/outdoor-health/bugs-and-germs/lyme-disease
Also, this petition about the lack of awareness of what is now an endemic but under-recognised disease in Scotland in the UK finishes at Midnight tonight, if you could take a few seconds to sign it that would be much appreciated.

Thanks and happy touring!
