I find the usual anti-midge nets available in the outdoor shops too small for me. With the low neck line of a Helly Hansen (or similar) shirt, my neck remains unprotected. I recently saw on the Larig Ghru path a couple of Rothiemurchus Estate rangers with nets that reached down to their waists, which seems a good idea - bare arms are also protected and you could probably still eat wearing one. I should, but didn't ask the rangers where the nets came from. Does anyone know where such nets may be obtained?

Order some No-See-Um netting (fourth from the top) and get your missus to sew one up. At 1.85m wide you could even make one up to cover you from head to toe. :-) -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

In the Netherlands the more 'tent-orientated' outdoorshops sell this also. Perhaps some shops in the UK sell it also ? You can also make some to protect you inside your car if you spend the night in your car. I attached it with velcro.

Better still, do your own sewing.
Oooh - and no smilely to take the edge off the comment!

Absolutely not. It's like cheffing. All the best ones are men. -- I try to be a good example to my children, but they just see me as a dire warning.

I can remember seeing in Nevisport a few years back a complete mesh suit with arms and legs. I think maybe Rohan used to make them intended for tropical jungles.
I have been known to use a needle and thread but those sewing machines are scary.
Mine isn't. It belonged to my great grandmother and knows not of this new-fangled electricity nonsense. It works brilliantly. I just turn a little wheel at the side, and as long as I don't try to go too fast (no chance!) it doesn't tangle up. People who know about sewing machines will be interested to know that it knows not of bobbins, and does chain stitch, chain stitch and - for a bit of variety - chain stitch. It's a Wilcox & Gibbs from around 1850 something. -- I try to be a good example to my children, but they just see me as a dire warning.
