as i ride a moped i always wear a flourescent yellow jacked wilst doing my bailiff duties (it also lets the anglers see me coming so they can pick up any litter etc ) the only thing is it attracts about every species of insect and i walk round in a cloud of them (even dragon flies in the act of mating relish its safe haven ) unfortunatly on leaving the pond most of them can keep up with me and it takes several minutes to shake them off

Very good Peter, the Mossie!

Take vitamin B tablets if you are being exposed to mosquitoes or other bities. They work wonders!

Im going to try the 'stop eating bananas' approach, as i dont like them anyway!

I have just bought one of these and thought you might find one useful.

 

 

This pouch is about the size that holds a centrepin reel.

 

 

Don't get one if you are selfconcous but they are VERY effective, and can be worn with the veil tucked up inside.

 

Avaiable from www.safariquip.co.uk,

blimey den i hope you dont walk about in the woods like that it would also be good for a smoker you could relish in the fact that it would be full flavoured ,only lighting it would be a problem is it fireproof

Chesters, it is a bit of a frightener isn't it

 

Tell you what, the next bloke that comes up on me in the dark will get an almighty shock

 

Last week I sat with an old net curtain over my head, it did the trick except where it touched my face, this hat keeps the net clear of your skin, I can now relax with hands in pockets and not keep thrashing around like a flea ridden dog.
