Flies. A pestilence from the Old Testament. Fu@king hundreds in a cloud around my head and over my dog while walking yesterday evening up a heather covered hill. And while pitching my tent to give me refuge.

I have nevet known so many to swarm. A combination of still, warm air and the season? I suppose 'hill flies' have a season too. 

Give me cool breezes and the longer nights of Autumn and Spring.

In reply to Flinticus:

we were much troubled by flies, including Deadly Cleggs, on a school camp to the Cheviot training area in the 70s.  I seem to remember people taking to smearing mud on exposed flesh, face etc and it improving things.
