There's nothing worse than enjoying a day in the outdoors only to return home and find that you've been bitten by midge's. Some areas are worse than others but there is help at hand.
Applying repellent will aid in the prevention of getting bitten, however, The Scottish Midge Forecast has a website offering advice and regular updates on where you're most at risk from those pesky insects.
Poor Philippe suffered after his day of cycling in what was obviously a midge 'hotspot'!

Believe it or not there's a simple preventative which is quite pleasant to use. It works against mossies and midges, honest.
Avon - Skin so Soft.
It's described as a light oil spray, meant to be used as a remoisturiser which is slightly lemon scented so is perfect for the ladies. Anglers use it to keep midges at bay; I'm fresh meat to mossies but it stops them from feeding on me.

I tried Avon Skin Soft and it doesn't work for me. My wife (on the same day) had less bites than me. Maybe my French skin is better suited ;-)
