Come up to Scotland and they'll make you regret your existence

I've been to Scotland a few times but never seen anything that I'd write home about. I've not cycled too much up there though or camped. But I also come from Oz so whatever Scotland has to offer I'm sure our version is more/bigger/worse :P

Midges are the equivalent of having a Thistle tattooed on your arm.

If you've been to Scotland and not had a Wee Little Bastard attack you ain't lived.

You think you have got away with it but in 5 days you realise you haven't. There is the joke that you kill one and 50, 000 of their mates turn up for the wake.

Scotland is on my todo list but Covid fucked one audax up there already. TransScotland was starting today. We'll see..

I did the Cairngorms in early October last year. blazing sunshine for three days, torrential rain for another, and not a single midge.

You could get lucky!
