Great to see your ups and downs and that you weren't perfect, loved your attitude to it and your quirky personality. I've tried to watch a couple of others since, but they're not in your league.

    General tip for avoiding midges: camp higher up if possible, because you're more likely to get wind. Midges struggle even in a gentle breeze. Face your tent door into the wind, because if there are any they'll shelter in the lee of the tent, and you don't want them all nestling on the side you're using to get in and out. In addition, they like standing water, so avoid flat ground, and ground near ponds and lakes. It's generally good practice to camp on a slight slope anyway.
