Throttled Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 A midge net is the only thing that really works. I camped for years whilst I was in the Scouts at various sites around Scotland. I have also lived and worked in Argyll. Things like Skin So Soft do not work as well as a net. I also found I could react to certain skin products.

TC Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 A net is a pain when your on the bike though. I'd look like a fishing boat going through Glencoe Do you know how many are about atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 This is the worst part of the year for them. You do not need anything when you are on your bike, they cannot cope with anything over the lightest of breezes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
