The green one is best think its called woodland fresh and as well as keeping your skin really soft and supple it also has citronella oil in it to help keep the midges at bay.

and thankyou i actually have a head net for the walk and arnywear lol

     The green one (woodland fresh) my wife uses it,and she never gets bit , I use it too ,and if another fella comes up to me and asks for a kiss, I swear I'll smack him one lol.

Thanks for the tip, Im off to Clactoll Beach In August, midgies arnt meant to be too bad but just incase i have just bought 3 bottles on ebay for £9.45 (free p&p)

Thanks again

hi all

one tip i got from an italian truck driver is when you have been bitten is to put clear nail varnish over the bite,it stops the air getting to it so stops the itching and it does work, i drive trucks to italy and the mozzies in parts of italy are total thugs they make the scottish seem like wussies.

      geoff

ah no,not the how can i be protected from midgie thread again,

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY,

PULL SOCKS UP,

HEAD NET

COVER ARMS AND WRISTS

GO INSIDE TENT AND ZIP UP

mosquito coils, wouldnt be without them, used them in the scottish highlands last year.  each one last about 8 hours

Thank you everyone for all the ideas and advice, much appreciated

Off to Glenmore tomorrow, so hope not to be bitten to badly with all the suggestions!!
