midges -- the best defence

[shaynem]

if you are planning a trip up north (the real north) scotland you dont have to fear the midges.

we have been using skin so soft from avon and they hate it .they land on you they DIE.

this is the best defence yet against the MIDGE.

Totally agree with Shayne-we have not found anything else that works as well as Avon-even some stuff we bought in Egypt,it worked out there but not in Scotland!

Put 'midge magnets' into Google - fascinating ! Some where it even says you can hire the machine.

try this one, we have just ordered it, it is a different flavour thats all, but they have it in stock.

In my experience it has to be the green Woodland Fresh not the pink one, whatever it is called. The pink one just doesn't work. The green one works a treat, and it is on sale in some shops in midgie country.

Hi folks,

we've been up there in Scotland (Isle of Skye) last year. And we used avon skin-so-soft as well... and it worked nearly perfect!

But it must be the green one "Woodland Fresh".

Some campsites have it in stock (e.g. the well-cared-about campsite at Dunvegan / Isle of Skye).

Others were sitting and grumbling under their midget-nets...we had a wonderful BBQ with just shorts and t-shirts on.

All the best,

Ruediger from Germany
