I've never known midges in North Yorkshire

But Scotland.....forget it if you are worried about midges.

Totally agree has to be the worst ever place for midges......... I applied to be an extra on sci fi films, my attire on that site consisted of black leggins with long socks over the top, long sleeve t shirt, one of them neck/bandana things and my midgie head net, sun glasses and baseball cap!!! , such a shame cos other than than that would go again as its a lovely friendly site, due to all residents swapping midge stories!!!

When we go abroad on hollidayto Mexico or cuba the hotels go around spraying to kill mossies,i wonder if campsites could do the same over here?

I am very sensitive to midge/mozzie bites, and was always attacked...until someone recommeded taking Vitamin B complex tablets, and they work for me....however, my dh, who never really gets bitten suddenly became hugely attractive to them when he took them....go figure.......

We got devoured mid-June but in May were not bothered (Manchester area). Daytime seemed fine it was as the sunset that they started. I was bitten all over, OH not once. Will definately wear long trousers and long-sleeved tops in future. And going to order some Tabard.

Failing that it's inside the tent for me!

to confirm the skin so so soft really works, the army use it aparently also you need to get the original smell think its called fresh its in a blue/green bottle I use the spray one on both me and the kids as I don't like Deet its to strong whereas the SSS smells nice but not to girly and doesn't feel sticky.

Im going to try the lemon shower gel as well this year as mentioned above   

Has anyone tried taking garlic capsules for a few days before going near midges?  Cant remember where I read it - or maybe I dreamt it lol 

I really couldn't eat Marmite,
