Hi ciscokid
I shouldn't think you will have to much trouble with the midges if at all. The ticks are not to bad there you get a few on the deer but I've never had any on me. I doubt you will need a face net.
Good Luck

rains too much for midgies!!
I was there on the last week on stags no midges about then so you should be ok, i always get ticks i managed 3 this time so take some tweezers with you and a mirror !
Either you taste sweet 375 or Im very sour never had one on me up there. Making me itch just thinking about them.

Hi guys,
Was up on hinds week 1 2013, hard work stalking- no one says it's easy- low density, hard shot woodland reds and dense forestry blocks, but all bar one gun took at least one beast.
I'd go again- the safety check-in process is a little bit of a pain, but minimised by the good humour and can-do attitude of our BASC co-ordinator Mike T. and Bob the FC man on Arran (who's a legend at carcass extraction on a quad).
My top tip- don't shoot a red if it's 1) at the bottom of a hill below the road 2) in bracken 3) got a stone wall across the extraction route 4) got a ditch across the extraction route 5) involves clear fell [a misnomer] on a steep hill.
Certainly don't shoot it if serials 1 through 5 ALL apply.

A face Veil is a good idea, as you can flag up very white, especially after all that rain!, ticks are present, so vigilance is good idea too, Ked racing on the carpet of the ferry can also be fun!
