Off to the cottage in a couple of weeks - might try the hide out
We're away off to the cottage on Loch Sunart in a couple of weeks.
I've not been to the hide before but it's located on the opposite side of the Loch from the cottage. I think it could be worth a visit anyway.

I thought the hide might be easier with my 'ailment' than tramping around setting up the tripod over and over again.

Lol this bit made me laugh:

The most important items to remember are your linen and towels. You need under-sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases. Bring beach towels too - there are some spectacular white sand beaches a pleasant drive away for outings with a picnic. A cool-box is useful. You might also bring a couple of tea towels. Otherwise midge repellent. Midges are a nuisance from June to end-August but you may enjoy a long hot day without seeing one; sometimes they swarm when it’s damp or mild. Look out for sheep tics too; tweezers are helpful.
