Scotland.. Rain N midges! It's all lies ...
Hi,
Coming to then end of a fortnight in Scotland
3 days Jedborough on a very nice CL with a dog walk down to the river.
3 days side of the loch at a CL Lochearnhead
5 days at club site Bunree ( fly fishing the loch, but don't know what I caught Bakers dozen all released trout or small mackerel size but solid bronze in colour? )
3 days at Longtown Another CL
Great scenery, very SUNNY, only an odd shower, must get back to Ardtoe some time 8) and no Midges.
Think it's all scare story's to keep people away, every time we come up North it's great weather
