Title: Cure For Midgies
Post by: Richy on July 28, 2004, 12:33:28 AM
I post this with great happiness as I think I have found (mine anyway ) the cure for the dreaded midge.  :lol:
Avon Skin So Soft, Woodland Fresh is a magical liquid which repels the wee buggers with amazing results. I swear to God if they are biting then in a millisecond I resemble the elephant man tenfold.
I tried it tonight and sat outside for two hours with no hassle, while my next door neighbour howked himself to death slagging me off for smelling like a poof !!   :roll:  I hasten to add, my face was normal for a change.
Honest Lads, this is just the best midgie repellant on the planet.
It cost me a fiver in the local tackle shop so don't know direct price from Avon.
Ah cannie believe I am puntin a wummins smelly thing but needs must.

Hope It works for the Laidon Weekend

All the best

Heard about this too. Some of the other sites swear by it.  Last week I ordered a few bottles online from Avon. It is about ? the price of ?Autan?,  just MUST smell better than that and probably does not dissolve your fly line.  I will try it out at Laidon next week.
