One night we camped in a really wet grassy field and had to run back and forth from the midges to get set up. By the time we were done and in the tent there were at least as many midges inside the tent as outside. It was the only time we gave up, abandoned the tent and went to find somewhere else to sleep. Otherwise we were pretty lucky! 15 or more years ago now though!
It was ridiculously bad, even worse with having a dog who brought them in the tent through no fault of her own. Love the place, but Bill Gates needs to spend his money to sort them out.
