Been reading horror stories about midges It is a bit of a last minute plan to make the trip next week(whole week)Should be a good time, with long days and hopefully no midges yet. Avoiding the late May bank holiday weekend would be good.
Thankfully there were no midges yet, weather was sunny and dry, which wasn't that great for the Fairy Pools though Thanks all for the advice!
Midges ........... T minus one week (and they are in one stinker of a mood).
Smidge for midges (also repels ticks).
Smidge worked on me but Mrs Nod got bitten through it. She now uses DEET and doesn't get bitten. Please note that this isn't against midges but Cretan bity beasties! A holiday friend who works in midge central uses Skin So Soft and swears by it (he works in the water industry out in the wild (around reservoirs etc.) so gets plenty of exposure to the things - and does a lot of mountain biking up there too - more exposure!
