Im off to glen-coe on sunday for a weeks climbing in the rain, anyone know if the midges are still bad and whats the name of that nivea skin cream that keeps them off??

Yes. If still, overcast and muggy the midges will absolutely destroy you.

Avon skin so soft - too greasy on your hands to climb.

Try "Smidge"

In reply to bigdan050: yes they are still bad if there is no breeze to keep them away! all the locals use "skin so soft" by Avon, most shops up hear sell it
