Hi Judith what time of year were you there? would love to avoid mossiesMidges? They don't do midges they do Mozzies.
We went, with a Mozzie net for over the bed, that we never needed. The only Mozzies we encountered were on a drizzly day, walking in a forest in Sweden. The Mozzies, there, seemed to like Martin more than me.
We did spend most of our time in Sweden, and Norway, in warmer than normal conditions though.
