I know the view you are on about. Every time we have been for a holiday we always stop at the viewpoint and soak up the scenery, it's always great to be back.

 

I collapse there on the road bike. It's a beautiful but deadly.

I've got to say that we haven't really noticed the midges on previous trips but probably it wasn't the right time of year. The most we noticed were at the end of June and then they only came out in the evening. Never had a problem with the horseflies yet, guess we have them to look forward too

 

Mornings and evenings are the worst for the midges and the clegs are all day but never as annoying. Direct sunlight seems to keep the midges at bay although the west coast doesn't see much of that so that'll be why the midges like it do much. A good strong breeze will keep them off you as well. Just beware on a still, damp and cloudy morning or evening, they can be so plentiful you will be breathing them in!

Cheers mate for the info, think I will give Land and Tree a call when I get there to see if they have any groundwork going. I did see the Bute job advertised but the cost of using the ferry everyday will eat into whatever I could earn. I cannot believe the prices of the ferries up there.

Ferries are bonkers, the only cheap ish 1 is the red western ferry, half price tickets are sold in the news agents up from the marina in Dunoon along from the 2 huge Sitkas, and in Gourock, the news agent beside the co op:
