Default Insect mayhem

After having a read of 'almost killed by green fly' thread, I thought I'd put a thread on to see what its like across the UK with the explosion in the insect population.

Just for a bit gauge of who's got it worst.

Just post a pic and where the ride was to and from.

I'll get the ball rolling with this: Hartside Cafe to Newcastle via A689, A68 and Shotley bridge. Approx distance 55 miles
