In reply to Mark Harding:
Interesting how the problem bugs vary around the Arnside Silverdale AONB. Never seem to encounter mossies anywhere except Trowbarrow occasionally. Perhaps its sheltered character and standing pools make it prone? Ticks can be a problem at the Upper and Pinnacle Crags on Warton Crag, also just walking around on the Crag itself. Personally, I've never encountered ticks elsewhere in the AONB. Midges never at all.
