We are starting to properly plan an anticlockwise tour of Scandinavia for the summer. Unlike our other trips this one will include a lot of camping, BUT one of the first warnings I have come across is that most of the countryside is infested with mosquitoes from July to September. I HATE Mozzies and they like me in equal measure. Anne always reacts very badly to a bite coming out in big lumps that get infected. She got proper poorly from one in Spain a few years ago.
So, has anyone got direct experience of Mozzies in Sandinavia, are they everywhere in the countryside or is it only if you go to damp forested areas (everywhere in Scandinavia ??). Is the coast of Norway mozzie free? What about Iceland?
I don't want the trip to end up one of cowering inside the tent behind the mozzie nets.
