Hi Roi, re. the midges
How about a wind turbine then to charge up your batteries and when the midges come out send the current back up to the turbine to create a stiff breeze around your van. I'm told they dont like breezy weather.
Worst midges I ever encountered were in Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales. The ablution block sinks at the site I was staying were literally black with roosting midges in the morning.
The guy in the only shower pi**ed me off for taking forever, so you can probably guess what happened next. :blink:
Hope he had his skin so soft in the right places !!
