Smidge is good. We both had cheap head nets from camping shop and worked ok. If you are camping it really helps to find somewhere with a bit of breeze, higher up and not next to water/in a forest. One night we were destroyed (July) just after rain on the edge of a forestry road. Next night we were up higher, near Loch Lyon and it was fine.
It's worth taking repellent and a net, may be absolutely fine, but you never regret taking a spare inner tube, even if you don't use it.
Thanks, I'm pinging her over all these notes/suggestions.
Tick tweezers and midge nets are pretty small and cheap so can't hurt. I don't like using chemicals if I don't have to stares at untouched DEET bottle so I'm gonna see who gets attacked first and if that stuff is needed.
