Or a living hell as we nick named it And not one we would recommend to anyone. Unless you collect midges, tics, bites and dodgy guts.

Bless all the kids though, who all behaved impeccably through extreme circumstances and did us all proud

Beautiful location, lake fab, scenery stunning......41 mossy bites on just 1 leg

Try whiskey.. Either drunk or on applied to bites on leg

I did say ticks and midges, or did I say ticks and midges?!

Pain in the neck, isn't it? You were the other side of the forest to us, but it is the same over there too. Advantix sorts the ticks. As for midges, Avon's Skin So Soft works to an extent on me, but only cos the midges die in the grease.

The walks are unbeatable and the solitude is fabulous, but those darn midges

First weekend we met the midgies, I got 100 bites.

Bless you Fudds and Gilly, we only live 15miles away and they are little buggers for biting especially when you've only gone to get the washing in!!!!

Mind you, not happy you didn't come for a pint at our local!

Oh Max I had no idea

Just found another tic on Boo, looks like its gone wrong and on the tip of his ! Of all places

Love Kielder but have to admit to going mainly in off season lol.

Brice feels for Boo, ticks like his eyelids which are hard enough!!!
