Re: GMVI checklist- What to bring
ASSS works for me, needs to be the "soft and fresh" version with citrinellol in the ingredients. It doesn't stop the midges from landing on ya but they don't bite. And if it works for Ollie then it's definitely worth using, he comes up in lumps if I remember rightly!

Re: GMVI checklist- What to bring
I'm going a different way; odourless Garlic, and it seems to work. TBH its helping something else too as I'm feeling healthier

Re: GMVI checklist- What to bring
All I really want people to bring are their smiles.
This is the look your going for.

GMVI checklist- What to bring
A rear tyre that is not 10 miles from showing canvas at the start of the ride out is handy.
Skin so soft is sat by my panniers ready to go, as is the sunblock to prevent a burned scalp. |

Re: GMVI checklist- What to bring
I've gone a stage up from Skin so Soft this time - gone for chemical warfare and hi-tech fabrics to keep my arms intact this time.

Re: GMVI checklist- What to bring
50% DEET plus something the midges don't like. Also harmful to everything else, if the packet is to be believed...

Re: GMVI checklist- What to bring
It ain't DEET then.
Sounds like creosote in a pack
