I was up in Dumfries in June, done the quickest gralloch ever buck over my shoulder and run and I mean run.
i visited Inverness last August stalking never in a million years again.
A camo bee keeping outfit is what your after. I always look like the elephant man after a stalk during the midge season.

That would be handy for some of the vertically challenged inhabitants (nyaffs) of the region

Seriously though.. read up on deet and thermacell.
Surely you have midgies in Denmark ?

 

[urx]

the clouds of midgies and the sheer invasive irritation they can generate should not be underestimated (as it surely will be by anyone that hasnt actually experienced it)

 

[Tartan_Terrier]

A combination of Jungle Oil and chain smoking should do the trick on the midges.......hopefully!

Knæk og bræk!

Yeah you need a combination of stuff to survive -

A mixture of avon skin so soft, smidge and deet with a midge net.
A thermocell is a god send if static in a high seat
There usually a bit easier on you in the morning than at last light
And if all else fails, as said above - chain smoke

And even with all of this you will still get bitten just not as much!!

I was on Arran last week and the midges there were as bad as I have ever experienced.

I did the big mountain trail on my bike, and swear i doubled my average speed when the breeze dropped, i was covered from head to toe in bites.

I have tried just about anything, and the only thing that has ever worked was a home made midge repellent using Bog Myrtle , applied regularly.

Midge repellent - Stop Bite with bog myrtle, repels biting insects.

Sorry about my spelling but you try to be a foreigner and spell a word you've never used before!!!!!
Thanks for the replies.
I'll try my best with Jungleoil and something covering my face and hands.

Only 3 weeks to go. Can't wait.

Thanks guys.

order avon skin so soft online, that's what you want. also, bring a tight knit face veil just in case they're feeling extra hungry that night.

held og lykke

Smidge, it is the only stuff that I find works. I work in the West of Scotland where midges are absolutely terrible, I go out with smidge on and get next to no bites.
