Had my first one of the year.I was out detecting last night about 7:30 and the pesky blighter got me between the bottom of my leggings and top of my sock...about a centimetre gap. Grrrrrrrrr:thumbdown:

Bloody things were around today and I felt a couple of bites. Lucky I don't get a bad reaction to them.

I'm sat here with a swollen leg

I got bitten on the left thumb joint last year and I swear it's still swollen and the joint's never stopped clicking since.

Aye, I was destroyed by them last week. They make a satisying sizzle on the exhaust of a 576.

Not sure if they don't like my smell, but I don't think I have ever been bitten by a horse fly which seems pretty odd in this job.

I hope it stays that way. The little bustards don't even flinch when you go to pick them off.
