Zap those midges with Skin So Soft

If it works for the British Royal Marine Commandos then it'll work for Scottish holidaymakers, too. Skin-So-Soft from Avon might not appear to be the likeliest of midge repellents but according to almost everyone who has tried it, this nice-smelling lotion really does do the trick. What it seems to do is make it more difficult physically for the midges to bite by putting an oily layer over the skin. Result!

Although reports reveal that there will be less of the Scottish midge this summer, due to a particularly cold winter, there will still be a few dozen of the wee beasties out and about so the key is to be prepared.

We recommend that you cover skin at times when the midge is most prolific, eg dawn and dusk, and if you're travelling by campervan you always have the luxury of being able to retreat indoors. But if you're still keen to be outdoors, perhaps enjoying a barbecue, then why not simply rub on some Skin So Soft?

With this in mind Big Tree Campervans are selling Skin So Soft as part of our campervan hire package this summer. We like to think of all the details so you can enjoy your big campervanning adventure to the full.
