I've seen people giving up their week long walking holiday on day one because of midges. If you've never encountered them you can't imagine the misery and all insect repellent does is make them hungrier.
Most essential kit to bring when going camping is a box of cigars.
My father recommended a Vitamin B Complex tablet taken daily - according to him, it makes your blood taste naff to the Midge, so they leave you alone....it certainly worked for me in India (with Mosquito's, not Midges).
And on the eighth day God said, "Okay, Murphy, you're in charge!"
