Hey mate...yeah we're only 140 odd miles to the Tunnel from here and then we were 2K mls to Lofoten so wiggling around certainly adds the miles on in no time. How were the midges?...ant any queue's? Hope you had a great time and made so many memories. :cool:

Not me but I lent van to my son who took her to west coast of Scotland good week for it no midges

Used this site a few times,It’s a great site with plenty of local walking, midges can be a problem but still worth it.

...ventilation if you have a throughput of air with a tailgate device that holds the tailgate ajar. So, my current preference would be magnetic midge screens at the front with the passenger window about half way and the driver’s side (where the locking button is accessible) less open. Still...

I was up there in May pretty much Midge free

No mate, nothing at all, wasn’t expecting any midges, naively. We leave the repellent in the caravan and this was a van trip so didn’t have any with us, but I’ve added some to the van kit for next time.

...means bonding Velcro to the opening / frame or rubber ? Perhaps giving them a call or start a question on the forum to see if anybody else has one ? One thing I would say is the first time I seen one was in Scotland nc500 and not one of them midge got through so that says it’s good for anything

...east coast, the final day before the van had to be back we did 521 miles, I still remember them all! Such a wonderful trip, we will certainly do it again going the other way next time! Get some midge stuff, the electric ones sound useful, not sure if they are as effective as their reviews...

Bought one of these for our trip to France in September (wanted one that didnt need drilling to frame) and I have to say its excellent - so much so have ordered one for the back door too now - just so we can get a nice through draft without the midges - Would recommend

Looks like monkeypox

No midges up here at this time of the year! Daylight hours are very short, but I am always going to recommend coming to visit! As others have said, the weather at this time of the year can be a lottery, heading east towards Cairngorms might be an idea.

...The vents come with a built in fly mesh, but I found this was too coarse for Scottish midges. I’ve added some additional extra fine mesh to the back which works a treat. This can easily be taken off to put them back to standard. £120 plus postage or collection from Leeds.

May-September is the midge season with Jun-Aug being the open season on English tourists.

It has been gorgeous the past few days, we've been very lucky. Although, with the wind dropping, the midges are out and about. Uist wasn't so bad, but our overnight at the C&CC Skye site is unbearable outside :eek:

I must've been lucky because I've not experienced any really, seen the odd few around but not the normal plague like proportions, I've not been bitten yet anyway. I was chatting to a guy that lives on Skye today and he told me that there haven't been many around this year because they've had a...

...grim. For example a couple of areas round us were rendered unusable by huge amounts human s**t and rubbish including broken glass left behind Smidge - in our experience, and everyone we know, it is actually the only thing that Is effective against the midge. It is also pretty effective...

Definitely not yellow, every midge, gnat and mozzie will make a bee line for you

...beds that fit to VW rails are very high and can leave your feet dangling whiel your head is hitting the roof bed. I went with Jerba in the end. The best feature for me is the Ventile fabric roof canvas which means there is very little condensation. It also has proper scottish midge proof screens.

My youngest son has his eyes on our van. We had the roof and leisure electrics done and he was all over it asking when it will be finished. (Much sooner if he put something in the pot)

Quite often the van will go through a number of configurations in the week of a retired gentleman (OK Gentleman is a bit of a stretch) and can look like this One day and this the next If you look really closely you can just see the Jerba Midge Screen stowed in the back of the drivers seat cover.
