Mozzies?

Fri 18 Mar, 2016 2:53 pm

I'm off to do the OLT next week over Easter. I'm wondering if I should pack insect repellant. Are there likely to be any mozzies around? I would guess not but it has been fairly mild I think.

There are always mozzies , but they're mostly a problem at dawn and dusk. Cover skin with clothing and they won't bother you (much).

Thanks NNW - I don't imagine I'll be lazing around camp in shorts and t-shirt so probably not an issue! I must have forgotten that it will be cold when I posted that question...
