Has anyone tried this stuff yet? If so, how good is it? Also, the articles I've read say it's available in shops in Scotland, but doesn't say which ones and I can't find a list of stockists. Anyone seen this stuff anywhere?

Have had an e-mail from one Dr Alison Blackwell, a director at Advanced Pest Solutions. Apparently the repellent is available at the Green Welly Shop, Tyndrum and the Bridge of Orchy hotel. I assume there are other places also, but I had really only asked about the Glasgow area or along the WHW. Don't know why it didn't occur to me to just ask in the first place

I know you can get it online, but you have to have a google shopping account, and I don't like having too many online payment accounts (and I'm not even a pensioner, wierd huh?

Going the WHW on sunday so I'll just smear myself in the Avon alternative until Tyndrum, then try the new stuff across Rannoch and Glencoe

That's ok - don't forget to come on here after the WHW and compare the Avon with the new stuff!

Have a great walk

Whats the best Avon alternative now that they have stopped doing the Green colour 'Skin so Soft'?

They have all got fancy new flavours now.
